In this episode, Tracy chats with Rob Bruns who, with his wife and son,  spent 4 weeks exploring the UK in June 2022. Rob shares information about how he planned the trip (including the various resources) plus his process of putting together the itinerary which was suitable not only for himself and his wife but also their (at the time) 11 year old son.

He also gives an overview of their 4 week itinerary including the various destinations they visited, highlights of the trip plus accommodation options, favourite restaurants and more.
