Exotic travel is all very well, but don't forget Staycations

National Express regularly offer deals of less than a tenner to travel around England, Scotland and Wales. Ryanair practically give you flights to Ireland and Poland (if you're able to travel mid-week and with only the clothes on your back, but we do that in Thailand anyway!) and lots of UK hotels are hungry for business so offer amazing deals. Plus, think of the challenge of making a trip to Whitby sound as exotic as seeing Eastern Europe.
Don't forget that if you do want to buy a train ticket, the train companies' websites will often send out tickets, first class, for free.

Quite agree - just been on Travel Writing Workshop in London and they were encouraging us to look more locally and be different. Just looking at the place we live with a visitor's eye can be a real revelation.

Absolutely - I'm always traipsing off somewhere at the weekend or on days off. Yesterday I ended up in Cornwall, a circuitous route to a literary festival that involved three wrong buses and a missed train, but had great fun and was better than spending a Saturday shopping in the town centre, though I do support local retailers for a spot of after-work retail therapy, so they don't miss out on my part to beat the credit-crunch.

Great stuff! You could even go more locally - Staycations, beat the credit crunch, help our economy and don't destroy the planet. And there are still very different cultures around the UK if you want to experience the different.
