Thanks Bob, Looks good from a quick look, I'll do some more reading when I have a bit more time. We are planning to be in London in January so a bit of snow or frost is not out of the question and should be very nice. The plan so far is that I want to visit a good stone circle and my wife wants to go to the theater, beyond that we are still working on things.
