Where should I HOLIDAY?

[Diddy]

My requirements:

1) Be somewhere with a beach
2) Not be within 100 miles of Eastbourne (i turned down a week with my parents in that area so i'd better have something different on the cards)
3) CHEAP - i.e. UK

I was thinking Cornwall.. I like Devon a lot, but I've been there so many times. I'm taking my 20yr old nephew too

How much do you think a week in Cornwall would set me back? I can't tow a caravan so it would either be some hotel or a static

My boss says he wants me to decide when to have mine before he books his .. which is good but I hadn't really planned anything :confused:

I've heard Newquay is good
Or what about The ISLE OF WIGHT?

[Emma]

it's just as cheap to get a package to europe at this time of year as it's still reletively early in the season.

you'd be able to get a week in somewhere like gran canaria or the costas for about £250 i would have thought.

[Diddy]

what ABOUT the isle of wight? Is it good, or is this some Rachey joke I don't know about? :p

I'm trying to remember whereabouts I went in Cornwall about 15 yrs ago, it was lovely.. kinda like the place in Devon we go, but .. well, not in Devon!

Polzeath?

BEIRUT

Do you know... apparently Beirut is a FABULOUS place to party. I mean seriously.

[Diddy]

I suppose .. but my nephew is on a low income, and I can't really afford for both of us to go to Europe. Driving there would just be convenient, and we can go to a bigger variety of places without relying on public transport

[PercyPig]

You can Eurostar to Belgium from £59 return. They have some really nice camp sites.

There really are some nice places on the island if i remember correctly. It's been a while.

[Diddy]

You dont think it would be too late to book somewhere in the UK do you? I know these things are booked quite far in advance :zombie:

[wendy the goat]

Depends how soon you are thinking of going. I booked my holiday to Devon about this time last year for September no problem.
If you camp you shouldn't need to book at all.

[Diddy]

I might even try a Haven or something .. at least I know it will be kitted out and they're more likely to have different sizes of statics

[PercyPig]

Make sure you pick up the Haven Theme Song. It's GAY-TASTIC.

[wendy the goat]

have you had a look in a Hoseasons brochure? they are all independent holiday parks and usually a HELL of a lot cheaper than Haven.

[Diddy]

Does it have the MOD CONS?

first week of September looks manageable, unless Cornwall SHUTS as soon as August finishes?

Oh yeah, some of the parks are great i went here (http://www.welcomefamily.co.uk/index.php) through Hoseasons last year and it was great and only cost £300 for 3 people for a fortnight.

[Beverley]

I think Diddy is DETERMINED to stay in the UK, no matter how cheap the european offers you show him ARE!

[Diddy]

I wouldnt say DETERMINED .. i had my REASONS!

maybe i just want to re-do all my past holidays with any traces of my parents SCOURED from them

Grimsby

[Indie]

i've just been offered a free holiday in greece... starting tomorrow

but i can't FUCKING GO

[Rachey]

The Isle of Wight.....it might not be 100 miles from Eastbourne...but by going on the ferry accross the water you will feel like you are going abroad!

AND its beautiful, relaxing and cheap.

[Star]

AND you can even camp in Rachey's garden!

[Rachey]

:D FOR FREE!

Shocking

are you blind? i said it'll probably end up cheaper tp go abroad than the UK if you get a cheap last minute package deal.

[Madison]

the Isle of Man is lovely

[Rachey]

I seriously do reccommend the Isle of Wight....

Look how pretty:

cheap fun :)

[Rachey]

cheap fun :)
Nothing wrong with that!

Obviously im biased, but ive dealt with thousands of holiday makers over here and ive NEVER met anyone who has a bad word to say about the island while visiting here.

[Star]

Rachey should get an OBE thing for services to the Isle of Wight!

[Strebor]

The pitchforks and extra fingers they spot in the handshake MAY put them off criticising :(

[Rachey]

I SHOULD!!! :D

I cant help it, as annoying as it can be to live here, i do appreciate that its a lovely holiday spot.
