Intro

Since before Corona we intended to travel to Great Britain, mainly to visit our friends:
Ollie in Chippenham
Dave in Cornwall
Robbie in Edinburgh
And Kimmie in Fife (close to Edinburgh)
Somehow we did not get around to do it and then Corona came.

In spring, early summer 2022 there was our next real possibility to finally do this. And looking back, it was a very good decision (all the hassle at the Airports that came up).

Now we had to decide how to travel. After some consideration we came to the conclusion to do a mix of flying; renting a car and using public Coach from Heatrow Airport to Chippenham we booked from home. Also most of the accomodation, mainly by AirBnB.
We flew to london Heathrow on June 15th 2022 and returned back to Switzerland on July 3rd

Switzerland - Chippenham

We went by train to Zürich Airport. Already on the train journey I received a mail from my friend Tom: "due to a computer problem at Skyguide, all airtraffic has stopped in Switzerland"... We were lucky: until our flight was due, all problems and backlogs had been sorted out, so our flight was on time. In London Heatrhow we took the Coach to Chippenham, where our friend Ollie picked us up by car and drove us (with a coofee-stop on the way) to the AirBnB, that luckily was in walking distance to Ollies home. --> To the index of this blog    Due to the Skyguide computerproblem many flights were cancelled - luckily not ours! Our Aircraft ready to be boarded. Here we are! I already stand in the door of our Chippenham-accomodation --> To the index of this blog
