Long ago when I was young camping with mates who had a Labrador my mate tried that, against my counsel despite being pissed, as was lashing down and nowhere would let the dog in. Didn’t go down well!
Newquay is as representative of Cornwall as Benidorm is of Spain.
Like a place people take holidays in ?
There were some nice scenic places such as Padstow, and lots of "arty" type shops, to mull around, agreed. Compared to a foriegn holiday, the Cornish hotels were not good, the entertainment was seaside town abysmal, unfortunately it pissed down for the majority of time we were there, obviously the sea was feckin freezin, and a no go area unless you are into surfing, or fishing.. The prices were extortion, and what it cost us for a week, we could've had two weeks with garaunteed sunshine in the med, with reasonably priced food and drink. As you say horses for courses, but we have never even considered a UK holiday since that one.
Newquay isn't great like. Ok for a base.
Why are the lakes safer than an airport?
Blyth and ashington are a must
Loved going there as a kid wouldn't go back now , if i was stopping in the uk i would head up to the Scottish islands, mull would be my choice
I might be third/fourth generation and unfamiliar with all the local geography but even I know some of the places best avoided!
It used to be a great spot then they started jumping on the Ibiza scene mob, ran flights from around the UK and chased the London wonga. I can see why they did it, it’s a desperately poor region out of high season, but it ruined the old school surfer’s vibe to be replaced by the brash stag & hen mob.
