The holiday thread

[sonicyouth]

So what is everyone doing this summer?

My girlfriend is going on 'holiday' without me as I will be stuck on night shifts at work. We're planning a long weekend near Tenby in Pembrokeshire - anyone been?

I once had a teacher who was from Tenby. She was blonde with massive norks. I hope that helps.

I'm going to go on holiday on my own based on that information, thank you.

No holidays per se, got three festivals lined up though which should be just as good, and a lot more expensive

Off to Cornwall as the kids are still small but even just a week costs a small fortune.

Been to Pembrokeshire a couple of times.  Very nice.  A place called Dinas head and anoher called Newport (not that one).  Like Cornwall without the huge amount of tourists.

Looking at booking a week somewhere abroad with a few mates. Not paying 18-30 prices as its so expensive, but looking to go somewhere lively.
Struggling to find cheap places to go tho.

I went to Tenby about 10 years ago... pleasant enough from what I can remember. We took a dodgy-looking boat to Caldey Island, I'm not really sure what the attraction was looking back now, as it appears to be famous for its abbey and monks, and we're not religious in the slightest.

This year I'm going to Mongolia. In a Nissan Micra.

Long weekend in Cornwall starting this Thursday then Corfu on August

We have a week in Dawlish Warren at the end of May and a week in Pembrokeshire (up near Fishguard) in July.

Tenby has some of the best beaches around. There is a pretty decent theme park called Oakwood up near Haverford West. There used to be a really cheesy nightclub un Saundersfoot. LOts of decent pubs and Double Dragon.

off to paignton for four days on monday for a birthday treat but will be visting all the other places around like brixham torquay teignmouth along with day out in plymouth shopping, Also looking to go to paignton zoo and maybe a visit to the National marine aquarium in plymouth.

Then hopefully off again in september but not sure where yet.

Paignton Zoo is ace. Brixham has a really nice fudge shop called Bon Bons - the pubs are mostly cack though. There is a brewery in Paignton called Bay, I think. There is a bistro in Brixham called the Breakwater who does great seafood - the fishermen off the beach and breakwater sell him what they catch and he cooks it pretty much straight away.
