Carlisle Travel Blogs

Background: Great Britain, the dominant industrial and maritime power of the 19th century, played a leading role in developing parliamentary democracy and in advancing literature and science. At its zenith, the British Empire stretched over one-fourth of the earth's surface. The first half of the 20th century saw the UK's strength seriously depleted in two World Wars. The second half witnessed the dismantling of the Empire and the UK rebuilding itself into a modern and prosperous European nation. As one of five permanent members of the UN Security Council, a founding member of NATO, and of the Commonwealth, the UK pursues a global approach to foreign policy; it currently is weighing the degree of its integration with continental Europe. A member of the EU, it chose to remain outside the Economic and Monetary Union for the time being. Constitutional reform is also a significant issue in the UK. The Scottish Parliament, the National Assembly for Wales, and the Northern Ireland Assembly were established in 1999, but the latter is suspended due to bickering over the peace process.

Friday 26th June In Hog Heaven on the rails between Settle and Carlisle We seemed to have saved some of the trips that we had thought about taking during our time in Settle, way before we left home on this adventure. And today we would be immersing ourselves in part of railway history in England as we rode the historic and very scenic line between Settle and Carlisle. Whilst we wouldn’t be riding in a carriage pulled by a steam engine that does periodically happen on this line we would still be travelling over numerous viaducts and through tunnels built through [View Full Entry]

I haven't had the chance to write for awhile because I basically spent 3 days at home resting and doing sweet fuck all after the Rebellion Fest. Just reading back on my previous entries I really don't illustrate how awesome the Rebellion Fest was and how much fun I had. It's quite hard to describe seeing a band who made you sit back and think "Wow these guys rule" in more then a sentence without using sexual innuendos or writing a novel. So to get you in the mind frame, think of the best band you saw live. Times that by [View Full Entry]

The campground we were at described itself as having a private beach. The truth was it backed out onto a mudbank. I have to say, I really understand why the English go crazy for Australian beaches. Anyway, we headed off to Gretna in the morning with little fuss, other than that Christie's sniffles had developed into a gale. After our morning coffee, we did a wee bit of shopping and then headed across the border into England for Carlisle. Other than meeting a couple of loca cyclists on the [View Full Entry]

Monday May 26th We had a wonderful day at Hadrian's wall today. We left Lockerbie at 5.30am. Thankyou for your hospitality Lockerbie. We started at Brampton and took a photo of the statue of Hadrian himself- very appropriate. Then off to Lanercost priory, Banks East Turret and our first miletower, with beautiful views over the Irthing valley. The Roman mile was a bit longer than the modern mile. In the bottom of the wall in many spots one brick is missing. I noticed that this is 8 steps apart every time. So decided that this was a unit of measurement. This [View Full Entry]

Sunday, July 29, 2007, Glasgow to Carlisle: 6:15am- Get the wake up call. Having taken my shower the night before I proceed to condense my two suitcases into one (since Globus will only “Take care” of one.) We’re suppose to leave our suitcases outside our hotel room door when we go down to breakfast at 7am. 7:30am- I am dressed and everything is repacked. I go down stairs and join the group for breakfast but, thanks to my insanity, I am too nervous to eat anything so I have OJ and enjoy the heartburn for the next 30 minutes. Our guide, [View Full Entry]
