Everyone needs somewhere to keep their map
1) I don't know where the Wirral is.

2) I prefer to go walking in the middle of nowhere. Prettier scenery.

I'd like to go to the Peak District
because I've never been.
I like Wales and the Lakes, but never been to Scotland either. Maybe I should finish England fisrt. Haha FINISH IT!!! (Sorry I'm going loopy I think)

The Wirral is the peninsula over the river from Liverpool. Nice for walking but hardly the wilds of Siberia.

You should try going exploring in Scotland
Far prettier in England. Although the best bits are up north of here, probably about 3 hours drive from the English border.

But I might have a nosebleed!
Kidding.
I did suggest it to my dad a while back. Then I realised that I hadn't even seen all of bloody England. I need his deadly map skillz and awesomez map bag.

Awesome
I'm thinking of going up there during the summer before I hopefully start a job. Friend knows of a place where you can go sea-kayaking from, which sounds awesome. You taking surf stuff?

I was planning to, but it's a very long drive,
and having boards and roofrack on the car reduces the fuel economy by about 10mpg, and I get nervous driving motorway speeds with them on the roof

so probably not

You could probably just hire some when you're there
And I'm with you on the fuel economy thing. I take far too much notice of it these days.

when you are driving for 12 hours it makes a big difference
there's a hire place in stornaway, but they only have shitty boards.

shall see nearer the time though.

the other thing is that we may well be stopping off a few places on the way back, so don't really want to leave the boards on the car.

My main one is 9'4", so not easy to secure!

Well that would be an issue, yes
Don't imagine you'd really want it being nicked.

no, it really wasn't cheap
my other board was cheap and is only 7' but is hard to get even that in the car, especially when you have packed it for 2 weeks of stuff!
