Going abroad to me is getting back to sunny South Shields. Hoping to get back before the end of the year

Youngest daughter went last weekend to a family christening.
Not been for a while but plan to go around early November to spread some of me dads ashes and visit family.
Doubt it'll be sunny then lol and I bet I've booked a weekend we're playing away <doh> :rolleyes:

We will probably stay for a month. What could be better Shields in November !? At least I should get to some games. Got a few concerts booked too! If they’re still on!

Took the kids up for a couple of weeks in mid summer years ago when they were young.
It was pea soup foggy every fookin day on the beach :rolleyes:
The one day we went that was sunny they weren't lettin any fooker in the sea fer jellyfish :mad: <laugh>
 
Cheers mate. Somewhere around Prestatyn. 3 kids, so we'll go to the mountain zoo, Anglesey, beaches etc. Theres a pool on site so they'll be happy in there. Mrs has MS so we'll be doing one day out and then one local so she can recouperate.


There's a member on rtg lives in prestatyn,
Rhyl has been tidied up and has a large marine lake with miniature steam train.
Abergele has the fake castle used on the recent "I'm a celebrity".
Took the grandson today, bit shìt tbh but he enjoyed it.

Dingo dollars lol :D
Conway is a nice town mate, great castle and views.
Amazing beach if you drive out the top of town and turn for the marina but then take a left that looks like a road for private spa/static site.
It's across from the great orme Llandudno, great views from both sides.


Llandudno also nice for a day out.
There's a decent pier, tobagon run up from the pier and the great orme. A drive from grand hotel/pier that winds up twisty roads to a cafe at the top with play area etc. Excellent views, copper mine.

Can't download views as it says they're too large .

Load off bullshit there is no nhs Covid test for holidays
It’s just a money making racket
 
Rhodes end of September, NYC end of October.
Ain't got a clue what's going ahead or how to go about getting tests.
Whereabouts in Rhodes are you going? I love that place and usually go 3 times a year. I've time off in October but think will duff it this year purely for having to get tests to come back. Was over last September for 3 weeks and was one of best holidays I've had and no hassle. A year later with a vaccine and obstacles are put up.

Just on the road into Lindos, it'll be our 3rd time there. Lovely place.

Aye I love it. Was never one for going to same place but don't go anywhere else now unless for city breaks. Got a few good Greek mates now and been learning language as hoping to live or spend a lot of time there when I retire. We stay along the road at Pefkos.
