Summer Break ? (1 Viewer)

[bringbackrattles]

What are your plans during the close season ? For me before we start our season in League Two I'm hoping to do a walking holiday in England or Wales. And going to a couple of concerts too. Hopefully I'll be refreshed by the start of the campaign ! Any other plans ?

Moving house in the next couple of weeks so will be working on that and then three days in Cromer and if I am not working by then I guess keep looking for a job.

Forget that I spent six months cold calling last year it's horrible

Planning on a mountain biking break, looking at the Forest of Dean to prepare for possibly Whistler (Canada) next year. Mainly just days away for me though and getting back into golf if my injuries hold up.

If you're looking at a walking holiday, I loved the wainwright walk. Coast to Coast. 192miles, 3 national parks and 2 counties. Some amazing views and scenery! It's an absolute must on anyone's bucket list!

That sounds great. I've walked the Peak District,Malverns,Torridon Hills/Scotland,and North Wales.I'll definetly go somewhere new though.

One place I haven't spent much time is Scotland! Nor North Wales (apart from Snowdon and Ben Nevis obviously)!
South Wales (brecon) and North Yorkshire I used to spend weeks at a time out in the wilderness! Love Yorkshire. Some of my best (and worst) days were spent up on the dales! Managed 13 trig points in one day once. Obviously a lot younger and fitter back then!

Another outdoor enthusiast ! I've been into walking/hiking for many years. Since I stopped playing football and rugby I needed something to replace it.
Done some tough hikes and some easy rambles too,but enjoyed them all. I took my son to Scotland when he was only about nine or ten years old, and he soon got into walking up hills ! Toughened him up he said in later years. Sod posh hotels we've done cheap digs and camped out in farmer fields,and slept like a baby !

Nothing better than the outdoors! My lads eight. We'll often go for a long weekend without a tent! Sleeping bag and bivvi bag. Maybe a tarp if it looks wet. Spent a night on a hillside in Wales in mid Feb with just my sleeping bag and bivvi bag! Woke up at 6am buried under a foot of snow!
I'd love to live somewhere I could just go after work on a Friday locally for a night or 2 with him. Rather than him sit in on the ps4 all weekend. Everywhere is a drive away and needs pre planning though so doesn't happen as often as I'd like. We've been and wild camped in berkswell before. Slept it the woods at Draycott Water before too! The Park Rangers didn't like that

The Lickey Hills in Brum is near so is Sutton Park. Your lad will love both places.

Exmoor in July, via Bristol on the way down.

Am a wimp though, so a nice B&B for me, no camping under starlight

I've got 2 music festivals in Belgium and Spain plus a couple of other gigs and then my Brothers wedding so busy summer for me :cigar:

The best thing this summer would be to hear that SISU have gone !

Ryton Pools Country Park is a nice place for a stroll. I went there once years ago. I'm sure they've improved it a lot since then.

It's alright is Ryton, but feels a bit artificial still. The walk through Wappenbury wood to get there is nice, mind.

Normally have a couple of weeks in the sun but not bothering this year so looking for a few UK short breaks. Some good suggestions on this thread.

Just got back from Ryton Pools. Can confirm. Worth it just to build bases out of sticks.
