The campervan thing is quite a good idea if you want to take aa risk. Fly into London - make your way to Earls Court (I think that's where the Aussies hang out - help anyone?) You used to be able to pick up a 'bargain' camper then 'do' the UK in it and sell it on again when you get back to the smoke! Like I said, bit of a chance and you could loose out big time but usualy lots cheaper than renting a car and stopping in digs.

Check in here on the'cat as well of course. Usualy loads of people willing to let you crash down with them and ferry you round a bit. I'd be willing to help in the Manchester area. Have to clear it with Mrs G though. She keeps complaining about all the wierdos I keep inviting...
