Amazing people, some of the best landscapes in the UK, mountains, snow, best surfing in the UK i could go on but you get the picture (and no i'm not from Scotland, i used to holiday in both Cornwall and Scotland and have now moved to Scotland.

Of course it could be worse, it could be Mumbai...

I preferred milder climate of Devon & Cornwall (Lived there for 5 years) compared to Scottish highlands. Found the winter to be too harsh.

Anyway, even here, once you are out of Mumbai, there are some amazing landscapes nearby especially during the rainy season.

do you think walking the length or Britain takes the longest or taking the long way round on ferries ?

I prefer the one that was down in japan to china or something though "get on the waterjet"

[SuperKid]

You know Google Maps is actually right here, its picked a route which is possible to walk, walking all way through the UK would take longer than using a ferry its just took into account that you want to go by foot and not walk with no transport at all.

I'll do it if you pay my ferry, hotel and food/drink costs
