Where to go?

Oostende – or Zeebrugge – Zeebrugge beach would be nice and quiet then 😀

What about one of the Canaries? Should be able to get a decent deal for October.

For somewhere like Florida, I am looking at £600+ alone for a return airfare and thats just for one of us…

That’s alright, just leave the missus at home… oh no, that kind of defeats the object…:p

Where’s Cloud 9 gone??…………..

I am still here…was just waiting for a multitude of answers before I replied.

Thanks for all your suggestions, really has been a help, and a few have certainly made me chuckle…:D

Only problem I have is if I fly on the Sunday, I miss the Saturday stay option which a lot of airlines put as a condition which would enable me to get a cheaper fare.

Someone earlier mentioned what my budget was…I would like to try to keep it within £1,000, to include flights and accomodation…

Told you it would be a challenge…;)

How about Bedfont Football Club car park ? It’s great when they are using 27L for arrivals at LHR. Ok it isn’t quite a beach but it’s gravelly and could pass for a beach if you lay a few beach towels down. It does get sunny sometimes as well. You can pop into the social club for a bacon butty or cup of tea. Most importantly just think of the stuff you could get coming into Heathrow. I’ll get my coat…..

(seriously this is usually the conundrum I have when booking a holiday with the lady…..”now where can I get some decent shots ? 🙂 )

Recent quote from my better half : “What a great 3 hours I’ve had in Barcelona stuck on level 2 of a multi-story car park”.

ps Croatia is nice. Fly to Venice and get the ferry over to Porec. Takes 3 hours. Beautiful part of the world.

How refreshing to see a sense of humour has not been lost on the forum as of late.

Theres nowt wrong with Skeg, gale force Easterly winds are an everyday event you get used to, the Sun has been (Rarely) known to shine:D However, I prefer Brid or Whitby, Just like the “Northeners” great folks.
And as a bonus, NO WHERE near Lincoln.7 !!!!;)

Jim.

Lincoln .7

why doesnt he go the extra hour north and come to sunderland then Jim? or south shields….they have a better beach lol 😀 whitby is nice though, we regularly drive down for no reason lol

Bournmouth? I’m sure you’ll be able to find a very good deal on a flight from Heathrow… :rolleyes:

True, but there’s not much left worth seeing in the cities!:D

They tell me Libya is very nice in October!!

That’s the best suggestion yet!! Where’s Cloud 9 gone??…………..

Barcelona? Cheap flights available, nice city, great food, pleasant beaches nearby?

A tad chilly on a beach in October. 😀

Actually the inlaws went to Jersey in October and had a warm and very sunny week, more so than they experienced in Wales all summer!
Taking a chance though.

Seriously I would concur with others about Malta, cheap, just right in October temp and weather wise, plus you have the beautiful Valetta city, though the big sandy beach is at the opposite end of the island.

Skegness:):):) or Malta

But no city in the vicinity………….poor old Cloud 9 – looks as though Florida is his best bet.:)

We go to the Algarve about two weeks earlier than your dates. Generally very nice beach weather although you expect to lose the odd day to rain.

Yea !! forgot about Jersey….Nice ..

How about Florida? Beaches, weather, cities and pretty cheap as well.
