Football, Castles, And Of Course Pubs: I’m Headed To England

The stairway to Tintagel Castle in Cornwall, England.

This Saturday I will be packing my bags and hitting the road again. This time around I will be making my way to “Jolly Old” England chaps. But unlike most visits to this left side of the street driving country, I will not be heading off to typical touristy destinations like London, Manchester, and Liverpool. Not that there is anything wrong with that.

Instead I will be catching a train from London and heading to a city in the south-western peninsula of Great Britain called Cornwall. The reason for the visit is to check out an amazing event that will take place simultaneously around the globe on September 22.

Twilight Football, which is sponsored by Sony and tripwolf.com, is going to be a worldwide spectacle that will occur in seven exotic destinations such as Italy’s Venice, the Alps in France, and Pinnacle Desert in Australia. To check out the full list of locales click here.  I will be witnessing a twilight football game live from the historic Tintagel Castle in Cornwall. The remains of Tintagel Castle date back to the 13th century and is the legendary birthplace of King Arthur.

Starting this Sunday I will be posting daily updates from my three day England jaunt, which includes me taking all means of transportation while I am there. I fly to England, taxi through London, hop a train to Plymouth, and will be riding in a speedboat while visiting Padstow. Be sure to also check out tripwolf.com, their blog, my Twitter page, and the Sony Twilight Widget on the side of this page for various reports from across the pond.

In the mean time, check out my site tomorrow for a new weekly feature that will provide you with even more travel related articles to check out. Plus be sure to take a peak at this weekend’s autumn related travel shots.

See you in England and cheers you bunch of wankers.

    Good luck! I am so jealous. Keep an eye out for Merlin, allegedly he’s buried in those cliffs somewhere.

    Look forward to seeing your photos and report. Loved England when I visited, but only had a week there years ago…been wanting to go back ever since. Have some scones and tea for me!
    Happy travels!
