 
One of our latest ideas-first tried out in 1999 is a Round Britain trip. Based
on the Trans-America/ Up and down Africa/Journey to the centre of the earth type safaris
loved by adventurous youths and never say die oldies, the treks can involve us hiring a
minibus and taking you and your friends around the British isles on a route of your choice
or you providing your own transport (minibus/ coach/car/space hopper) and we organise your
tour, come with you and act as guides.
This offer- open to any nationality, but targeted as affordable as
possible to help Czechs & Slovaks who suffer from the unfavourable exchange rates-is
based around Britains network of Youth Hostels-which are all situated in spectacular
locations and are cheap but comfortable.And of course full of people from all over the
world.
Our planned trips for
2003 are
1. May
9-17 Olomouc
2. June
24-July 2 Lithuanian
We
also organise SPECIFIC regional trips such as
3.
July 7-18 IRELAND
4.
July 19-26 CORNWALL
5.
August 15-22 WESSEX
If youd like to join us on one of these get in touch (smedlo@globalnet.co.uk) and
we can talk about your specific needs.but better still why not get a
group of friends, a school or some workmates together and ask us to
organise one FOR YOU to your specific requirements
Sample
from a Previous trip
Okolo Velke Britanie 1999
in July
99 we took a coach full of Czech teachers and students around Britain in 10 days. We
managed the whole thing for £198 each-including accommodation, food and entrance to
several places of interest.
Staying
at Eurotowers in London we toured the capital before taking the road north with
breaks at University town Oxford, Shakespeares Stratford on Avon and the
Viking capital of York-where we visited the Viking museum. Staying overnight
on the North Yorks moors at Osmotherley we continued through Teeside and
Tyneside to have a break first at Hadrians wall on the Scots border then Bamburgh
castle ( ) - home of the Northumbrian Kings by the holy island of Lindisfarne.
In Scotland we stayed at Edinburgh right next to the royal mile and visited the
castle .
Crossing the forth bridge we hit the
Highlands with a short stop at Pitlochry, through the pass of Killicrankie
and then a visit to the Dalwhinnie whisky distillery , the battlefield of Culloden
and the town of Inverness.( )
Staying overnight on the banks of Loch Ness ( ) we journeyed through the Great Glen to Ben Nevis
and Fort William then down to Glencoe where (unarranged) we bumped into
Prince Charles and Jimmy Saville.
Crossing Rannoch
Moor we stayed the night at Killin next to the falls of Dochart and then the
next day on by Loch Lomond and through Glasgow to have lunch in the English Lake
District.
That
night , after passing through the mediaeval town of Chester we stayed nearly at the
top of the Snowdonian mountains of North Wales where the group went swimming in a
mountain lake while others visited the Druid isle of Anglesey and the Castle of Caernarfon
( )
where the Prince of Wales was crowned.
The next day we wandered down the Welsh/English borders stopping at Hereford
city (home of the SAS) and Tintern Abbey on the river Wye. Crossing the Severn
bridge back into England we ended up at Crowcombe near Bridgwater and had a party
with local musicians.
Back to London via the Roman town of Bath and ancient Stonehenge
the group had been to north , south ,east and west coast and the only complaint was that
we wouldnt stop on a dangerous highland hairpin bend to take pictures of Prince
Charles!!
**The
same trip was organised in August but involved 2 minibuses and a group of
Czechs,Slovaks,English and American travellers and followed the same route but ended with
home hosting in Bridgwater.
***in the
2000 programme we had 2 themed trips Okolo Skotsko
concentrating mainly on the Scottish end of the country and Okolo Stare
Wessex which involved a tour of the south and west of England and
included
London>Brighton>Portsmouth>Winchester>Dartmoor>Cornwall>Pendennis castle
and Lands end before returning via Bridgwater to London.
