What to do with a few days off?

[classic33]

Don't like falling.

Do it right(or should that be wrong) & you'll not have to walk!

Plan "C" jump on a train with bike and go somewhere for a few days, anywhere within £150 return train fare (that might get me a day trip to Ardrossan then ).

You can get some good deals if you look hard enough/are willing to travel at odd times or, are to book in advance. I cannot account for the cost of accomodation you choose though.

Plan "D" phone work and do a couple of shifts in the rain, then get away another time.

You could plan something properly, yes.

Plan D. Then the weather will improve.

Plan D and then visit the west country. It's lovely down here when the rain buggers off

Save it until September when the masses have gone back to school.

Stay in Devon somewhere in the South Hams area, then you'll be in lovely countryside a few miles from the coast and a few miles from Dartmoor. If you fancy a bit of history you can head to Plymouth to see the Barbican and the Hoe.

You'll also easily be able to do a day trip to Cornwall.

Take your best cycling legs with you as it isn't flat for very long!

Well, if you'd mentioned it sooner you could have helped me mend my shed.

Plan e @Brandane get yourself down to Northamptonshire and borrow one of my retro bikes and go a tour of surrounding counties its not a bad area for cycling

I once spent about 3 years doing that on another exotic Clyde island (Bute) and I don't think my liver could stand it again!

Bute is not as picturesque as Millport..
Its still Glesca fair so the clientèle will be classy..

Thanks for reminding me to keep clear of BLACKPOOL!

Won't £150 (ish) get you flight from Glasgow?, warmer is always my preference, if not then I'd go for the motorbike trip.

I love the zero hour contract too.

 

[Brandane]

Decision finally made; I'm off to York. Driving, with MTB in car. The weather looks like it will be marginally better than here (cold, wet, windy, as per usual).
If any of our Yorkie members hear a ping from a proper brass bell on an orange Trek MTB; say hello .

Largs to gournouch, (spelling) then ferry across to Dunoon and onto the lochs, ride 30 miles around loch Eck, to Inveraray and stay in the beautiful loch fyne hotel (that'll blow your £150). Then ride up and over to Dalmally along the shore of Loch Awe and around to bender loch, crossing the mouth of loch etive and on to fort William (on the new smooth road) via the commando monument to Loch lochy and loch ness.

I enjoyed this route in 2014. Just beautiful.

I know you are local but you can see it for yourself here.
