And so it begins. Many years in the dreaming , and very few hours in the planning. I think it is fair to say that I am ready for this trip, but not at all prepared.
For me, the major thing lacking in life up until now is the scope for real adventure and exploration. When you are young, everything is new and foreign, but as you hit your teens you fast realise that it'vs all been done, and all you have to do is jump on the net to get a feel for almost anything in the world. And in the case of Dave and I, not only has everything been done, its been done to a standard far beyond what Dave or myself are capable of.
So rather than just following in someone else’s footsteps, or just going to all the “must see” sights in Europe, we have opted for a much more open ended journey. We know what countries we are going to (kind of), how long we are spending there (roughly) and the major things we want to look at or experience (some of them anyway), but on a whole we can plan as we go (totally wing it). The one thing that Dave and I do have prepared, is our own unique style. A level of unnecessary complexity that we add purely for the sake of our own entertainment.
With this in mine, I would like to announce the Scavenger Ramble! A list of beers to be imbibed, foods to be consumed, as well as the usual (and unusual) sights to behold. Any and all input is welcome! Just bear in mind that suggestions may be noted, and ignored if found wanting.
