YOUR travels start here...

Hurray! You've stumbled upon the home page of simonheptinstall.com - starting place for  travels around hundreds of my travel reviews, reports and articles. Find all my best stories, tips, links and blogs here. They are all written by an independent expert... me!

Wander around this site as if you were browsing a strange village deep in a distant foreign land. You'll find all sorts of odd inhabitants in here somewhere. 
If you want to be organised about your travels, use the menus at the top, the links at the side or even work through the complete site index here.

Or take a risk. Jump on the first train. Just click on any of the photos in the site to go somewhere interesting or click on orange text links to be whisked away to a new page. Or plod along like I do in strange villages... looking for the cheapest bar.
