This is an extremely rare event, and I'd like to make the most of it. I'd like to go off on my own, with my camera. Somewhere far away. As a new driver, the prospect is a little scary, but I'm wondering about going to Seaham (right up in Northern England), or possible to Norfolk, or North Wales. I have experience of driving 200+ miles now, but Seaham is 360, North Wales is 320 and Norfolk is... well, I dunno, but still quite a few. Would I be taking on too much, I wonder?

How about going right up into Scotland?

Seaham is world-famous for interesting sea glass. There was a Victorian glass factory there, and the glassblowers would get rid of whatever they had left at the end of the day by dumping it in the sea! There are loads of weird colours and shapes. It also looks pretty good for photography, judging by some images I found on Flickr. Is Bamburgh Castle (did I spell that right?) around that area too? That's always in a couple of the images in the Landscape Photographer of the Year book.
Scotland is a bit too far to go for a few days - in fact, so's Seaham, really. I'd spend a heck of a long time driving, and not much time actually there. I'm now thinking that maybe Cornwall would be a good choice, actually.

How long do I have to wait for a reply, I wonder? I suppose I'd better start preparing myself for disappointment now...
