Why go abroad

[redmoosefaction]

i honestly feel that this country can offer what ever people want as long as they go looking for it. I cannot see the point in paying to go abroad just to sit on the beach or by the pool for a fortnight when we have such a wonderful country to explore.

 

I'm off to the alps next week. ... lakes and mountains. No sitting on a beach, well just a bit on Lake annecy. One of the cleanest lakes in the world. Sweet. Mountain biking, via ferrata, kayaking eating. Proper holiday!

About 50 years ago mrs oldwoodcutters dad took me into the slaughterhouse where he worked in Halifax.

Does that count?

As long as you keep a set of spare wheels you can come to Liverpool

Oldwoodcutter,

You escaped though?

PS

We are spending a few days "kinda" in Yorkshire.

Starting in Cairnryan

Driving down to Arley in Cheshire,

then Chatsworth House

then a 1/2 days bizz in Wyke, and avoiding BRADFORD (per advice from this forum )

onto Castle Howard

then COUPLE o days for me at Beamish Open Air Museum

then oop to Alnwick, and perhaps on to Berwick

An back through the Borders to Cairnryan.

No doubt our visitations shall suffice to bring on the rains.

****************

From a young mans fascination in visiting various bits o the Continent.

I since my mid 40's have developed a real interest in exploring bits of the UK.

Some genuinely wonderful sceanry, food, pubs real beer and people.

Wot ah kin talk tay, well kinda.

Though I suspect the UK holiday experience has changed significently for the better in the past 20 years.

Still bloody expensive though.
