Heading off to the Worldcon in Glasgow in a few months. I am flying direct from Denver to Glasgow (OK, with a change of planes in Chicago) and, from there, go to St. Andrews for a week. (I’m bringing my golf clubs with me:-)

After St. Andrews, I had planned to go to Precursor, a small fannish convention that would allow us foreigners to meet some Brit fans who wouldn’t be able to make it to Glasgow. And after Precursor, a short trip to London to visit friends before heading back to Glasgow and the actual convention. (I plan on leaving my clubs in left luggage somewhere and pick them on the way back.) After the Worldcon, I will be visiting the Edinburgh Folk Festival for a few days before heading back.

But now I find out that Precursor has been cancelled, throwing my plans into disarray. Precursor was going to be held in Walsall, which I think is an industrial suburb of Manchester. I thought of visiting an interesting area in England that I haven’t been to before, but can’t think of any place like that at the moment. Maybe I should try Carnoustie?

Since I am moving around by train while in-country and I wasn’t planning on renting a car, getting around for two or three extra days could be difficult. I suppose I could stay in St. Andrews for the weekend.
