Hey im going to the UK during the month of June, '05, with a buddy to backpack and fly fish. We want to keep the price around 2 grand.
$900 avg. for a round-trip plane ticket from Atlanta to London then back from Edinburgh.
$375 dollars for a combination of Britrail and Scotrail for 23 days.
$40 dollars a day for 23 days. That comes out to be $920 for daily costs.
So its about 2 grand in the end.
But is 40 dollars a day avarage enough for Hostels, food, the occ. pubs

, and so on? We want to to keep a tight budget but not so tight our trip his handicapped because of money restraints. We dont mind staying in small independet hostels or eating small meals.

So anyone been to the UK recently? Perhaps you could let me know how much is needed to stay over there and any other tips and advice. Plus, does anyone know of a cheaper way to get to the UK from America? Hell we'd Fed-Ex ourselves over there if we could. B)
