Best holiday destinations

St. Petersburg is amazing. I went there a few times as a teenager as my Mum was working there. Haven't been back in nearly twenty years but definitely planning to.

Off to Majorca tomorrow for a week in the sun. Huzzah!!

Play nicely when I'm away, please. Listen to Kenny and Vis, but feel free to ignore Jinky.

Try the Padron Peppers - like Russian Roulette with your taste buds.

Not really a holiday but had a few days away in York for our 20th wedding anniversary. What a great place! Never seen so many craft beer pubs. All a bit hipsterish with loads of organic artisan cycle repair shops but it had a really nice vibe. Watched the England match in the cinema/basement of a craft beer pub which made a nice change from the usual football-shirted drunken madness.

Haven't been to York since I went on school trip there when i was 14 or 15.

All remember is the school getting us all all a Harry Ramsdens Fish & Chip takeaway for lunch. Worst Fish and Chips EVER....although the homeless guy who appeared disagreed and happily took on 25 or so meals....oh and the Yorvic (or whatever it's called) was a bit naff. Top trip.

We didn't do the Yorvik centre, but there was a homeless guy. Almost certainly the same one.

The wife has booked a few days camping and unfortunately I've had to go.

I can safely say I will never do this again. It's horrific.

In a tent or Larry Grayson type camping? You've had decent weather,just man up!

In a fucking tent.

There is a reason we don't live in tents without basic amenities.

Weather like this it's great,it's crap when it's cold and wet

I'd rather have it the other way round, camping in the middle of summer means being woken up at the crack of dawn every day as your tent turns into an oven.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Nah - that's the joy of a hot festival. Can start the day's drinking at 5am.

I'd rather go to bed at 5am than have to get up at 5am.

Perfect timing for the heavy drinking to start before nap time...

I have done 1 camping trip over in Norway. Split between Tromso and Oslo. Tromso was fucking ace, tent in the forest camp site, 24 hours of sun light. Loved all 3 days of that. 2nd part in a mass camping site in Oslo was fucking awful and I hated every single second of it....got worse when a squirrel ran off with my watermelon as well.

Forest Camp? Is that a film where Tom Hanks minces his way through life?

[Keef]

Think it's a similar film to schindlers fist and shaving Ryan's privates

 

[leedswolf]

That's the one.

Similar things when I've done bike trips,tent behind a hedge,or in a forest,quiet spectacular views all to myself,did a couple of proper camps sites and hated having people around.
The baltics,Estonia especially are brilliant,free proper camp sites in the woods,get a Eco toilet,a tap and a proper cooking spot,some have huts as well,stay as long as you want,wild camping is allowed everywhere as well,I really need to go back out there for a bike ride
