Renton 24682 Posted Monday at 20:32 Share Posted Monday at 20:32 (edited) 1 hour ago, Alex said: It’s a lottery with the weather there tbh, mate. Obviously the mean temps are going to be warmer but it’s a mountainous region of the UK. But probably not a bad shout at that time of year. Worth noting though that the Scots (iirc) have all of July (rather than August) off for their kids summer hols so they’re back at school early / mid August. Although you obviously get lots of English visitors. Beginning of September might not be a bad shout either. You will get A LOT of daylight in June too. This. Late May, June, or late August, September. Cairn Gorms are a proper wilderness but for my money the West side is much better. Trossachs, Glen Coe, Mamores, Nevis range, Torridon, Ullapool. Best scenery on the planet. Edited Monday at 20:33 by Renton 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife went to Stirling Uni so we would be going via Stirling so I can visit that. Her uni grounds look stunning. Sept is a good shout actually. I don't mind wet weather at all or tbh the cold. It's the midgies I don't like 😂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howmanheyman 38328 Posted yesterday at 13:44 Share Posted yesterday at 13:44 Currently in Andalusia between Marbella and Estapona, not sure if you can see it on the photo but think you might be able to see the pillars of Hercules, definitely Gibraltar anyway in the distance. The raggy is top notch by the way and that's especially the staff. 4 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a luxury 5* which was picked with some planning for our 25th anniversary next month, (about a grand cheaper for the sake of a few weeks, yes please). 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaddockLad 19905 Posted 19 hours ago Share Posted 19 hours ago We’ve just booked to go here, hoping @Meenzer can fit it into his no doubt hectic social schedule ☺️✊🏻 A sophisticated gay scene has developed around Gallipoli, often referred to as “Gay-lipoli”. The city is particularly well known as a destination for the Italian gay population [4] and has become “Italy’s gay summer paradise”.[5] A vibrant nightlife means Gallipoli draws an international gay crowd over the summer months, with visitors also being drawn by the nearby naturist beaches and the popular lidos at Baia Verde. Going in late September so hoping to get a game in at Stadio Ettore to see I Giallorossi 💊 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There for a week but outside of the main attractions, anyone got any suggestions? Like my history so bang up for walking tours, museums etc. pubs and food recommendations more than welcome Whereabouts are you staying? Foodie friends in Berlin have previously recommended me Bar Immertreu and Windhorst for cocktails, St. Bart and Ngo Kim Pak for food, and Markthalle Neun (food hall/market) for general gastronomic goodness. Nothing to go out of your way for (Berlin is hardly short of options) but if you happen to be nearby etc. At the other extreme, Georgbräu in the Nikolaiviertel (near the Museum Island) is more of a southern style Brauhaus and definitely as touristy as it comes, but in a nice little cobbled neighbourhood that survived being destroyed over the years despite being very central, so worth a look if you want a stop-off while doing some of the main sights. Decent beer gardens in lots of the parks too, obviously. Victoriapark and Mauerpark spring to mind (the latter on Sunday especially). History/museum-wise, there's a good little museum and preserved section of the Berlin Wall here - https://www.stiftung-berliner-mauer.de/en/berlin-wall-memorial - gives you a decent sense of the scale and grimness of it all. The runways at the old Tempelhof Airport are now a big park so you can go and pretend to be an aeroplane if that's your kind of thing (it is mine). And since you've got the time, get the S-Bahn out to Potsdam for a day of wandering around the grand old buildings in the Sanssouci Park, it's dead nice out there.

We’re staying right next to the Brandenburg Gate so right next to the transport links for getting about. Put everything in there into my list and like you say, will keep an eye out as I go from area to area. My only concrete plan atm is going out for our game on Sunday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
