There’s some lovely spots in Wales and England but a holiday for me is guaranteed sun and baking hot temperatures where I can just crash out in the warm for a few weeks.

Cardiff seems hotter than the med some summers !

Re: The Great British Holiday
Maybe if it's linked to a nice pre-season tour but I like a bit of culture and architecture and you don't really get that in Paignton.

Re: The Great British Holiday
This year is a big chance for the " great British holiday " to sell itself again and maybe recreate the feelings of years gone by and people will forget going abroad in the future :thumbup:

No chance.
High 30's or 40's for me. Just crashed out like a Richmond sausage sizzling away.
It's probably why I'm a bronzed God.

Dreadful, twenty is plenty, I work in hot climates a lot, wouldn't dream of going abroad unless I had to. Sunbathing, boring and pointless. Each to their own though.

Totally agree about sunbathing being boring and pointless.
I live in a sub-tropical region, it's not very seasonal. We get hot weather from April to October. I miss the seasonal weather of the UK and the food (I never thought I'd ever say that).

Nothing more boring than just sitting on a beach these days, maybe if I was 21 with a good book and a hangover. 26/27 degrees is a nice temp anything over is a pain in the butt. I’m down west now, seems quite quiet but maybe we’ll see tomorrow when the sun is supposed to come out a d it warms up. Kids don’t care mind, they ran in the sea as soon as we got here.....

I'm addicted to the buzz of travelling to strange places with a different culture, language, food, architecture, history etc. - and having the challenge in getting around. The more alien the better. Last year I had to cancel flights to locations including Kazakhstan and Argentina and trips abroad for me are the antithesis of sitting on a tourist beach. Each to their own, of course.

The sooner we can holiday abroad again the better.
Rather stay at home than holiday in the UK.

Went to Newcastle Emlyn many years ago , went into a pub and there were two cardiff city framed replica shirts on the wall
I felt a sense of belonging

Depends on what type of holiday you're after. If it's involving small kids and you're after some good weather for them to do the seaside thing, then forget it, unless you get really lucky. If you're travelling with another adult or adults, then walking, exploring an area is fantastic if you're into that kind of thing. The UK landscape and the history is fantastic, although if, like me, you've been bringing up kids for the last 26 years, then an 'adult' holiday is an alien concept. I can honestly say that i wouldn't know what to do if i had to spend a week or so with just my missus, without any kids, as all of our holidays have sort of been their holidays if you know what i mean.
Can't stand Caravans or caravan parks, they remind me of my time growing up on council estates with little privacy and i've stayed in so many caravans while digging it with work, the smell of them turns my stomach :hehe: Plenty of British B and B's and small hotels are 'royston Vasey' weird little set ups, i'd rather stay in a Travelodge. The UK is expensive for what you're getting, i do like Northern Spain and the Basque region, it's not so hot and i like the food and Culture of the region, the people are lovely as well.
