Holiday

[dave l and l]

i am thinking about heading away in the campervan next week for a few days . not sure where to go yet . was thinking the far north west scotland but weather doesnt look to clever,
so maybe a change of plan,,, north east england looks nice . anyone from down there tell me what kind of weather they have been getting , and is it a nice place to visit,
either that or wales coast which looks nice, also whats the weather been like down there
i dont really trust the bbc or met when it comes to weather

North East England is fantastic weather is always in low 30's and very little rain.
Plenty of sightseeing and Hadrians wall a heritage site worth visiting - not sure if it will still keep you celts out!

You must remember to go between March and October for those temperatures, it does drop to about 20 degrees during the winter months.

The Benwell, Scotswood and Cowgate country estates are all worth a visit

I after 15 years. decided to rest August.
(little jobs at home) ......
pity that I got a new job.
the first three weeks of August .....
I hope for the last week of August. (But many doubts)

 

[dave l and l]

was looking at lake garda in august, flight and hotels prices are decent,
in fact i was going to drive there in campervan . but wee one is only three years old, so i was thinking it might be a bit of a long journey, plus engine has been playing up a wee bit.. and when i checked ferry prices it was a bit hefty.

We went to Scotland week before last and had a trip to the isle of arran (on car ferry) was so in love with the place we went back the next day and are planning a week at least there later in the year. It's fantastic, a must visit place. It's such a beautiful place the weather can't spoil it. Here's a pic of the weather we had...

Along with the 15 hours of sunshine every day and the beaches that stretch for miles.

 

[dave l and l]

That's a cracking van. Did you have to do much in way of restoration. I've had to remedy alot of rust.
Cycled round arran on a few occasions . There's a great campsite down the south of the island worth staying at

 

[Flintstone]

Mines imported from USA so pretty rust free, it's all origional, scars an all

 

[Lithofin BOB]

That's the way forward I think. I spent a few days under trying to dig out the old underseal and check for rust. 37 plates later I got rid of about half the rusty bits. Thankfully I helped my dad work on his t2 so the welding was done by him and me.. Was up in the western isles few months ago. Twas lovely. Cost a fair few quid in petrol mind you. Think I am getting about 21 the gallon

[Lithofin BOB]

Well if u could of spent the money on the bus Bob you could've driven somewhere warm for the winter eh!

Strange ideas at times the 'fairer sex',
Thing is in my experience, 'fair' is sometimes the last thing they are!

At least your not stretching the truth about the coast line........

 

[Time's Ran Out]

Alnmouth,Amble,Newbiggin,Whitley Bay and Tynemouth all had 15 hours of sunshine when I was a lad!
Summer holidays were spent winkling and plodging in the sea.
Nowt's changed still a beautiful coastline.

 

[Wishiwasatoptiler]

Never had winkles for years. Tynemouth had an open swimming pool didn't it? I was sea burn as youngin.

1960's it was.
You could get the bus from end of our street and 4 hours later you were on the beach. The rest of the day making tile designs out of wet sand before the tide came in and washed the grout off!
Fish and chips in last weeks newspaper and a stottie with margarine and homemade mushy peas. If you weren't camping in the dunes it was another bus ride home and tucked up in bed.
All this and me dad still had change from a farthing. Aye those were the days.
