Hello from the UK

Hi everyone

I've only just started watching the deadliest catch, and well, i'm hooked!!

I have to say the closest i've come to sea fishing was a bit of shark fishing in Devon (England) a couple of times, not sure my amatuer sea legs could withstand the berring sea! But it's an interesting and exciting watch!

The Northwestern seems to me to be the best boat though, so i found your site and signed up!!

Greetings and welcome aboard!

Greetings, Chrisguk! Yes, the Northwestern is the best of the fleet. Welcome aboard.

[Chrisguk]

Suse, you would say that!

Thanks for the welcome folks!!

[Suse]

Why, yes I would. lol

The show is addicting, isn't it? I'm hooked as well. What's not to like? Good looking men, gritty witticisms and the primal lure and danger of the sea.

[Chrisguk]

Not sure about the good looking men part being a male myself lol, but i've always loved the sea and something like this, with the danger of the berring sea, is compelling viewing!!

You do find yourself wondering what it would be like to be onboard the boats

[Suse]

I know exactly what it would be like for me aboard one of these vessels. Given the fact I've never found my sea legs, I'd be in the head, throwing up. lol

A tad off topic here... I hope to visit your lovely country within the next year. Any advice on what I must see, and what to avoid?

[Chrisguk]

Suse,

Where abouts are you visiting or are you hoping to travel around the country?

Obviously, the sights and the West End in London are a must, but it depends on where you are coming to and what it is you want from your trip.

Cornwall and Devon have some beautiful beaches, then there is the theme park, Alton Towers for roller coasters, and also the Pepsi max big one in the north of England if thats the kind of thing you like.

I'm not online for a couple of days, but when i'm next on, i'll try to find you some useful links to places to visit and see, but let me know what you want to see and how long your expecting to be over here.

[Suse]

Thanks you, Chris. I will begin in London, but then I'd like to venture into the countryside. I'm very interested in architechture, art, history, natural beauty, photographic opportunities, walking tours, local foods and restaurants, some shopping (but decidedly not high-end, more bohemian). I'm not really a theme park kind of person, and although I wouldn't mind seeing the key sights of England, I'm really looking for more than just the average "tourist" destinations. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
