However I’m not really a great fan of too much heat and I’ve been wanting to visit Wales / Cornwall / Cambridge etc for years and just never got round to it. Could still do either tbh. I’d avoid Cornwall in the summer tbh- unless you like sitting in massive traffic jams on country lanes for hours on end, then being fiscally raped wherever you attempt to buy anything- shop, pub, cafe, anywhere. Also, Wales is your kind of place as they can’t spell to save their lives either. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkeys Fist 38556 Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 Fair point. CT pulls up at a beautiful, secluded and deserted bay on the mid-Wales coast, not a soul around for miles on a balmy summer evening … ” There’s no one here Love, it must be shit, let’s go!” Heads for Rhyll. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am a bit concerned about the crowds in Cornwall during summertime but if I can find a whistle stop way of doing it then I’d be happy. Could also fancy a drive around Norway and Sweden but would have to do a bit more research on that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cotswolds, Chedddar Gorge, Wooky hole, Wells, Cheltenham, even Bath and Bristol. Take a chunk off your mileage if you want to head east to Cambridge as well. I can see the appeal of road trips but only in beautiful environments. Your itinerary includes a fair bit of motorway drving across boring, flat, England. And Chester definitely is not worth stopping for imo. Edited June 29, 2022 by Renton 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkeys Fist 38556 Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 CT crosses the Severn Bridge, ” Where’s the other six, then?” CT goes to Durdle Door, ” There’s a bloody big hole in it!” CT goes to Cheddar Gorge, ”It’s bloody rock!” CT goes to Wooky Hole, ” Where’s Han?” etc 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have Tobey Jones redo his role from Detectorists, visits all of the UK best tourist sites, thinks they’re shite, goes and digs up a field instead. Kathy Burke as Mrs. CT, sat in the car, smoking her tits off and necking warm Baileys until she blacks out. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That last blip maybe but I think that's just an idea being floated at present. I think Netflix are fairly fucked though as they won't be able to compete long-term against the big boys - Disney, Apple, Google, Amazon, Channel 4, and the NHS. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gloom 19735 Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 the only kind of camping i can tolerate is at festival where you spend as little time in the tent as possible, other than an hour or two of tortured, restless "sleep" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinRobin 9163 Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 The only camping I am prepared to tolerate is in a 5 star hotel. Too fucking old to be in a tent, especially in Oz, where you are likely to be bitten by something unmentionable in the unmentionables. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Camping at an event, where there's an atmosphere and, lets face it, a shit load of alcohol being consumed, is acceptable. I've done at for the Grand Prix a few times. Camping for camping sake?
