One is 7 day and the other is 10 days of visiting the finest aviation based places in the UK, with such detail as what aircraft you will see at each location, as well as the other sightseeing in between the airplane museums.

Tour Britain with a Self Drive Rental Car

Every January, the parish of Haxey goes a little crazy for the day. They play a mad game called the Haxey Hood and have been practicing this ancient tradition since the 14th Century. It's one of the oldest local tradition in England.

The Haxey Hood is a kind of huge rugby game without too many rules, where a leather tube is slowly “walked” or should we say “swayed” or “gently persuaded” by a large unorganised rugby scrum to 1 of 4 pubs in the village, quite competitivly, where it remains until the following year's game and of course each of the pubs’ regular customers want to win for the prestige awarded.

Haxey Hood Fool in 2004

The official story is that in the 14th century, Lady de Mowbray, wife of an Isle landowner, John De Mowbray, was out riding towards Westwoodside on the hill that separates it from Haxey. As she went over the hill her silk riding hood was blown away by the wind. Thirteen farm workers in the field rushed to help and chased the hood all over the field. It was finally caught by one of the farm workers, but being too shy to hand it back to the lady, gave it to one of the others to hand back to her. She thanked the farm worker who had returned the hood and said that he had acted like a Lord. Whereas the worker who had actually caught the hood was a Fool. So amused was she by this act of chivalry and the resulting chase, that she donated 13 acres of land on condition that the chase for the hood would be re-enacted each year. This re-enactment over the centuries has become known as "The Haxey Hood".

At the end of the competition, the Haxey Fool makes a speech, the Fool always finishes with the traditional words that the crowd chant along with him. They are:

"Hoose agen hoose, toon agen toon, if tha meets a man nok im doon, but doant ‘ot im"

(This translates as: House against House, Town against Town, if you meets a man, knock him down but don’t hurt him.)

The World Gurning Championships.
This eccentric English event is held every year as part of the Egremont Crab Fair in the Lake District. The tradition dates back to the year 1266. Competitors pull ugly faces through a horse’s collar and quite simply the ugliest face wins. This year a TV presenter, Michaela Strachan was sent to report on the event by the BBC and ended up winning her event. See the picture, it may be that the photographs come back to haunt her in years to come on some TV bloopers program.

The Brambles Cricket Match

The Brambles Sandbank is a spit of land that lies between Southampton and the Isle of Wight on the south coast of England that is only uncovered by the sea once a year when the seasonal tide matches the normal tide along with the right sea currents. The sandbank is exposed for about an hour and in this time, the members of the Royal Southern Yacht Club and the Island Sailing Club race out to it in small boats to conduct their annual cricket match. It’s quite competitive with the spectators and crowds standing on the pitch and lots of cheating goes on. Someone keeps score and lots of beer is despatched in the short 60 minutes. The way to score a 6 is to hit the ball off the sand and into the water and as the tide comes in and the sand is once again swallowed into the sea, the easier it is to score a 6.
