- Unless something goes horribly wrong, I'll be winging over to Britain for
- a visit approximately April 1-12. I'd love to meet some of you British
- net.folk if we can arrange it! And, I'd appreciate any pointers to
- things equestrian to do/see at that time of year.
-
- I'll be using Cambridge as a base because I have friends there. They
- are somewhat "horsey" (have been taking lessons off and on for the last
- year or so) but not seriously into it. They can show me the local stables
- and tell me where they went pony-trekking in Wales last year, but I don't
- expect real expert guidance. My friends are leaving for a convention on
- Jersey on 4/8, so I'll probably rent a car after that and venture out on
- my own. Don't know if I can make it up to Scotland, but may manage to
- pop over into Wales. Much will depend on the weather and my courage at
- driving the "wrong side of the road"!
-
- My Frommer's travel guide says the Grand National is run in April, but
- does NOT say what date! Does anyone know? I'd practically kill to see
- that race, but I can't shift my travel dates much due to school schedule.
-
- Since this is not my first trip to Britain, I don't feel I have to see/do
- everything in 12 days. (Okay, I'm fibbing, but one must be Practical. :-) )
-
- Please email me if you'd like to meet, or if you have any advice/ideas.
-
- Thanks!
