Essex, East Sussex and Eberkshire all done! Wait...

That's right, I've done another three places on the tour, taking the overall count to 34. That still leaves me with just under a third of the island to explore - which sounds a bit daunting on its own - but if I can manage twenty-six in a month like I just did, then sixteen in two months should be doable.

Already confirmed are:

1. Norfolk: that's tomorrow. Visiting Norwich, and possibly either Cromer or Great Yarmouth, depending on the weather.
2. West Sussex: maybe on Sunday, but probably Monday. Visiting the Bluebell Railway and East Grinstead, so looking forward to that.
3. Gloucestershire: kinda have to do this one, as it's where I usually live during the holidays! Will be "visiting" my home town of Stroud, and hopefully doing some other places as well. Back there on Tuesday, whoop!
4. Herefordshire: going to watch Hereford United vs. Cheltenham Town in just over two weeks' time, and hopefully will get to see a bit of Hereford as well. The Tommies gang are helping me out with that one, hurrah!
5. Lincolnshire: visiting Lincoln two weeks on Wednesday, and hopefully meeting up with Josh Harris.
6. East Yorkshire: Travelling solo, on the same day I'm visiting Lincoln, to watch Hull City vs. Tottenham Hotspur. Once I've booked my ticket, that is...

That still leaves me with ten to go, of course. They are...

1. Cambridgeshire
2. City of London
3. Dorset
4. Northamptonshire
5. Shropshire
6. Wales
7. West Midlands
8. Warwickshire
9. Worcestershire

I'm hoping to combine some of those together into one big trip (West Midlands, Staffordshire, Warwickshire, Northamptonshire and Cambridgeshire for example), but I need to get back home and discuss things with the folks: am running low on funds atm and need to boost the bank account before I can go gallivanting off to all those places!

Thanks to Abi Brady, Rose, Cassie and Larissa by the way; Abi was my tour guide for Essex, while Rose, Cassie and Larissa accompanied me to Brighton and Windsor yesterday. Steve came along to Windsor too, and got stung by a wasp for his troubles. Fortunately, he killed the brute. Steve 1, Wasp 0!

Thanks for reading, and with any luck I'll be 70% of the way through after tomorrow. Yay, that means I'll get a 1st in Travel Writing! If only it was a degree...
