The Round is canny on the main street if you can convince all 10 of your family that they need burger and chips for their tea. Expand Nah, we are staying in Bowness. Me and the wife are always up around 6 unlike young people, so I tend to jump straight up the kirkstone pass (not a euphemism) to watch the deer, but decided to keep going and ended up in Keswick. Now back and just nearly killed myself playing football golf in an absolute heatwave. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gloom 24400 Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 (edited) I'm just back from a jolly boy's outing weekend with my dad and bro on the isle of Islay. We stayed in Port Ellen and walked the distillery trail from starting at Laphraoig then going up to Lagavulin and Ardbeg. Highly recommended. Rugged, beautiful coastline. Super friendly people on an island with only 3k inhabitants. Everyone there is a whisky expert. Edited April 28 by Dr Gloom 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkeys Fist 46646 Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 Did they give you the source water to splash in to your samples? Been to three distilleries, Talisker, Dalwhinnie and Oban, and they all gave us a little splash of the water from the source, and I remember thinking each time “ This tastes fucking incredible” then realising I’d only get to taste it that way again by going back to the distillery The Talisker tour was memorable because we were staying just along the road on a winter climbing trip. We turned up, not realising the tours only ran in summer and the lass sent us away then came running out as we were getting back in our cars and said to come back in and she’d do us a tour anyway. Not 100% sure if she actually charged us for it either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayatollah Hermione 15246 Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 Anyone had much joy with last minute holidays before? Me and my lass are looking for the first week of September and were wondering how long to leave it and more importantly, who offers the best deals? Doesn’t have to be anything incredible; just 10 nights to a Greek island is probably the plan but not sure whether to be strong and wait until 3 days beforehand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand yeah - exactly that setup. there was always a glass of water with a little pipette of water to add to the dram. i always like to try it neat first then add a small splash of water to see what it does to the flavour profile.

I’ll have a look tonight, cheers. Places like On The Beach and even through the likes of Jet2 and TUI themselves are still fucking daft money for what look like bog standard hotels. You may as well go long haul, all inclusive for your summer jollies these days 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
