2026 Ticking off Morocco and combining with a revisit to the UK

Things just happen. @Mac has a spreadsheet (of course he does) of "bucket list trips" and when something pops up that has potential he pounces. In this case, it was an offer by Inspiring Vacations for a small group visit to Morocco. Certainly fitted in with an available timeslot on the 2026 calendar so #whynot? On reflection, and now that we are close to departing, perhaps if we had read the itinerary and noted the 15 km hike in 3 hours, the 45 degree heat of the desert and the camel ride into and out of the Desert Camp, maybe it would have been #WHY .... but there you go, too late now. And a conversation in the kitchen while @Leah and @Ali were visiting raised the question of our availablity to join @Leanne and @Gary for a trip to the UK was the second #whynot. So .... #whynot. Have managed to add 21 days in the UK with a few little combos to make up the trip: a revisit of London for some of the highlights we missed on our previous trip and big bonus we get to catch up with @Leah and @Ali, an exciting exploration of the southwest Cornwall coast on an organised tour with Select South West Tours, a train trip to Liverpool (She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah) and finally, a bit of a road trip to take in some of the Lakes District and to meet up with @Mac's longterm online gaming (let's save the kingdom) friend, @Joe in Leeds.
