Holidays

[SteveClem]

We're off on one in a few days time. My wife worries that the Internet connection may be poor. I have no intention of taking any device apart from my ancient Doro phone. And that's for emergencies only..pay as you go,about £25 a year.
Just kicking one out for amusement!

Some drugs can cause withdrawal and anxiety if stopped suddenly, the drug technology is one of them.

Always have a smartphone with us on holiday. Google is handy for maps, directions etc when in a strange town, especially abroad... and especially with no roaming charges now

You don't need foreign holidays we live in the finest country in the world

[palacebear]

Depends what sort of holiday you want. Sadly the British weather isn't usually reliable enough for beach holidays.

[irmscher]

I cant think of anything worse than lying in the sun on a beach bored to death in a foreign country

Each to their own

It's difficult to find something positive to say about lying on a beach but I suppose it helps reduce the congestion on the roads over here! --------imagine what it would be like if sunbathers discovered the beauty of the Dales, Lake District, and numerous other national parks here!

We're off to Dorset in an hour. 45 years since I was last there on a geology field trip.

and i'm off to Hunstanton in the morning

Cycled to Hunstanton beach with my wife two years ago, first time we'd been in the area. We looked at each other and wondered why we spent twenty years taking the kids to terrible beaches in France?

Very true, the beaches in Italy are much better...and usually the weather as well

[Trickydicky]

North Norfolk for me is the best relaxing, walking holiday. The stretch of coastline between Hunstanton to Cromer has some of the best walks called the Peddlers Way, the nicest villages with the best scenery to cast your eyes over. If your a bird watcher then you are in for a treat.
My tip to anyone who has never been is to go but buy the relevant OS map, ditch the car and walk! There is also a regular coastal bus service so you can walk as far as you like then catch the bus back!
I am not a fan of going to the same place regularly but this area is an exception.

[SteveClem]

Back from Dorset, lovely area. Just enjoyed catching up on the 'ginger bush' saga

[les]

Shhhh-- by quiet! We don't want ex sun worshippers, cluttering the place up!

[philthehill]

Already cluttered up by Broadchurch.

[SteveClem]

And the cliff at West Bay, aka Broadchurch, had just collapsed into the sea taking the footpath with it. So we took the dogs to the pub instead.

Before the cliffs collapsed and well before Harbour Lights, Broadchurch and Doctor Who
The so called good old days
