Maps make things a bit more interesting

[Sir James A]

My wife mapped out the castles that I had bookmarked that I wanted to see while we're on our honeymoon. I had just compiled links based on recommendations from people who had visited before and some web searches. I know England isn't a HUGE place, but I don't think I could have picked a more varied set of locations....



I may have to trim a few off the list.

It's only 2,587 miles. Just a short walk.

[Sir Gerard de Rodes]

And you haven`t even looked at any of the beautiful castles and medieval sites in Wales ??  

lol

If you need a few more recomendations just drop me a line  
Have you chosen a date for your trip yet?

I'm always open to recommendations! That would be great. Our primary limiting factors are, of course, time and money.

The date will be late-september or afterwards. We are mapping things out so we can check around for RCI availabilities in our spots of interest, and will have to plan exact dates around that.

Hermitage Casttle in the Scotish Borders and Bodiam castle are on my travel list.

[Sir Gerard de Rodes]

Sir Ancelyn, Bodium is a fantastic castle 

James, I may have mentioned it on here (once or twice lol) but Beaumaris Castle is probably my favourite so if it`s not too far from your chosen rout it`s well worth a visit;

A good look through the above site will also inspire you I`m sure.

There are also a few nice castles on the Marches of Wales that wouldn`t be too far from any journey up the middle of the country, such as Ludlow Castle;    http://www.ludlowcastle.com/
    and Stokesey Castle; http://www.english-heritage.org.uk/daysout/properties/stokesay-castle/

Sir Ancelyn & Sir Gerard,

I added them to the list to check out and re-map.

The link for Stokesay threw a virus warning and aborted the connection - I'm running Firefox with AdBlockPlus, too. I couldn't postpone my curiosity and had to click the links - and the network admin was not too thrilled. Seems they may have been hacked.

[Sir Gerard de Rodes]

James,

Please accept my most humble apologies if that link caused problems, it seemed fine when I accessed it.

Try this one at the Castle Wales site;

No apology necessary, I just wanted to make sure nobody else clicked on it until I've checked it out some more.

It's looking to be a "false positive"; within minutes of my clicking on it, a couple other people in the office started getting warnings for no reason, including our internal websites, yahoo, google, youtube, and more. A machine scan showed no virus, and the network admin decided to move to a less obtrusive a/v solution - apparently this one thought some files on a few machines were infected (a while back), and decided to quarantine them - rendering the machine unbootable - and was again a false positive, as the machines scanned as clean.

I'll check it at home (I have the same antivirus) and see if it throws any alerts.

[Sir Edward]

Just keep in mind that a clean scan only proves that nothing was detected, not that there's no virus. Almost every new exploit or virus hits somebody before it gets added to all the AV products out there.

Narrowed it down to a mess of false positives.

I didn't get the warning on my computer at home under Windows 7 or Linux - all seems safe. Just a well-timed coincidence. I posted about it quickly but I thought a 'better safe than sorry' approach was best when evil things (like virii) are at stake.
