UK walks, outdoors
and practical trip planning

Trips at The Perry tend to begin with research, a list and a plan, followed by enough flexibility to ignore part of the plan when something more interesting appears.

This section brings together city breaks, coastlines, walking, food, culture, road trips, quiet days and spontaneous detours. It is less concerned with declaring the definitive way to visit a place than with recording what was genuinely interesting, useful or memorable about being there.

Walking is the shared constant, whether the setting is urban, coastal or somewhere in between. Nature, golf and piano may also appear as evolving projects; books, science, technology and collecting as routes into new subjects.

The aim is a useful personal record, not an exhaustive guidebook.
