Spotted you walking in south sea at 8.30 tonight alone and texting while crossing to road towards the ferry in front of the uni housing block. Are you sure this lady friend is really lol.

^^^ true 'dat
Nah, in all fairness, she doesn't drive a DERV and gets touchy when it comes to fuel.
RE: UK Getaway's..? - Grant - 26-06-2012
Bressingham Steam Museum and Gardens. Such an amazing day out. She'll love it, and your dirty derv will fit in with all the smoke...
Witchcraft Museum. If she's that much of a whingy bitch, she should fit in well here
Anaesthesia Heritage Centre. Never know, may be able to get hold of some chloroform or similar and get lucky!
Pork Pie Pilgrimage. Who doesnt like pork pies?!
World Clog Cobbing Championships. I love a girl, with a good set of legs, in a great set of shoes. If this sounds like your lady, why not take her here to strutt her stuff!

Unfortunately the south coast is the most picturesque / has the warmest / cleanest waters, yet you say you don't want to visit?
Wales is fairly epic for a good drive, make sure you dodge the main roads and pick a mountain route, then it's all about staying out of the rain.
Otherwise, the usual suspects, the Lake District etc.

It's mainly because we're both from 'down 'ere' and would like a proper getaway, rather than local visit.
but yeh, wales sounds most promising at the moment i think!

Isle of Wight is pretty nice...oh wait
I went to newquay a few years back. Driving around cornwall is epic and the scenary is stunning!

Ginge, apologies for not spotting this sooner
How much are you looking at spending a night?? Because I know somewhere fooking awesome up here but it aint cheap! PM me if you don't want to post on here!
Center parks as suggested by Jonnyb I found is great with kids as there is shit loads to do but I think its a bit to family orientated for what your looking to do IMO

Here he is!
Erm for money, id like to say its not too much of an issue if it's worth it! The peak district would be an ideal place I think!
But yeh, centre parcs, I don't think so, too many kids around!

RE: UK Getaway's..? - samass - 27-06-2012
possibly where i stayed, but i forget the name of the place, i just drove there!
hippy central tho
RE: UK Getaway's..? - C.A.R. - 27-06-2012
You should update your profile so we know whereabouts you're from....I thought it might have been the case...
Unfortunately you're already in one of / if not the best parts of the UK...
IoW is crap and I wouldn't recommend it for longer than a 2 day visit. There are some nice places in the Cotswolds if you want somewhere quiet, not as far to drive as Wales either. Avoid the east coast at all costs - it will scar your mind and you'll never want to go on holiday in the UK again...

Cheers for the ideas guys, i've saved a load of the pages to the lappy and will have a ganders with her, see what we reckons!
RE: UK Getaway's..? - mark_airey - 27-06-2012
Another one to add, there is a nice B&B right behind my house who have a gypsy caravan in the garden you can stay in as well as nice rooms.
Its called "The Blue House" http://www.bluehousebedandbreakfast.co.uk/ worth a look
UK Getaway's..? - Jonny b - 28-06-2012
If you go center parks out of season there is no kids there!!
And mark that caravan looks awsome, may have to bring the bird up at some stage
RE: UK Getaway's..? - ginge191 - 04-07-2012
Ok, so we've decided we're going to Scotland; we've got a rough idea on where we're going before and after scotland, but there are so many areas around there to choose!
Preferably we don't want to go above Edinburgh, but want to see some real touristy castle areas.
Can anyone suggest any nice areas to stay or visit??
Thanks!
RE: UK Getaway's..? - Niall - 04-07-2012
Scotland...in a 306? Oh dear. We all know what happens to dervs that go to/come from scotland.

...they also said a K03 @ 30psi wouldn't get more than 200miles, it did nearly 1000.

RE: UK Getaway's..? - Pompey306mark - 04-07-2012
Touristy castles? So Edinburgh castle. That's not north of edinburgh. Aireshire is a nice area, been there years ago.
Will be an amazing drive. I want to go to the highlands, great scenery, amazing skies on a clear night and a few nice cottages up that way. I was looking with an ex "lady friend" lol but never got around to it.

Unless your saying miss tait isn't real? I'm fairly sure she's real although she didn't turn up to ace when she said she would!
Also Dorset is supposed to be nice. I know you said your going to Scotland but lulworth is supposed to be very nice
