Sounds like a plan for a daytrip to me pal!  Especially if there's any fixtures with Surrey on the go!

Yeah buddy, well up for that. I think Worcs may be playing Aus in a warm up game which I may venture to at New Road.

Get yourself to the Cheltenham festival in July - always a great day out....

Sounds like a good idea!

One of my favourite subjects this, and I think I might have visited them all!

Scarborough is my absolute favourite, though be aware that your trip will be weather dependant because it can get pretty cold and windy there (though the decision to move the Festival back to a more sensible time of year should make this a bit easier).

Worcester you've done.

Chelmsford wouldn't be high on many people's lists...but the atmosphere is one of the best around, especially for a day night game. 

If you get the chance, outgrounds can be excellent - Tunbridge Wells, Bath and Abergaveny are amongst my favourite (though I am not sure that Glamorgan still play there)

Oh, and don't forget Lords... :)

Get to Scarborough Festival. If the weather's good, the atmosphere in Scarbados is all tops
Scarborough is a lovely ground, just a shame it absolutely lashed it down the majority of time we were there and only managed about half a days play in 2 days of scheduled cricket

I agree with Scarborough and you can get a decent pint as well!  :D

 I love many of the out grounds that counties use occasionally such as Swansea (Glamorgan) and Stratford Upon Avon (Warwickshire). Of the main test playing grounds I love The Oval now as it's a great blend of old and new.

To be fair I can't think of many grounds I love in the cold weather!
