Operation Let's Go 50-50 Gets Underway

These are the voyages of the Stanley Enterprise...

Wales...

England...

...and Scotland. For some reason, they don't always get on!

To visit 50 places in 50 areas: all of the 48 ceremonial English counties, Wales, and Scotland to be precise.
To seek out new places of interest.
And to boldly go where no Stanley has gone before!

Basically, I plan to explore a whole host of interesting destinations that, for one reason or another, I've never properly explored before: to see what makes them so different from each other, what makes them great, and to experience something new about every single one of them.

Here's the itinerary:

1. Bedfordshire - Bedford
2. Berkshire - Windsor/Eton
3. Bristol - Bristol, in particular Clifton Suspension Bridge
4. Buckinghamshire - Milton Keynes
5. Cambridgeshire - Cambridge or Peterborough
6. Cheshire - Chester
7. City of London - St. Paul's
8. Cornwall - St. Ives
9. Cumbria - Carlisle

Some of these have already been completed, but there's still a lot to go! The ones completed so far are highlighted in bold. The extended plan is to visit these places with someone who knows the area well. So far these people have included:

1. Durham - Al Stanley
2. York - Andrew Hartley
3. Oxford - The OULES gang
4. Bath - Tom Murphy

Hopefully that list will be added to in due course. But for now, Operation Let's Go 50-50 is officially launched!
