Swampster Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 And I'm glad someone else appreciates the place like I do though. I have never felt quite like I do when I'm there anywhere else. I posted a picture on my facebook not long back and had trouble getting people to believe it was an image of somewhere in the UK. Have a lovely time in Oban! A few random picture's I've taken whilst up there... (excuse the quality.. they've been mashed up a bit for the web). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 I'd love to go to Rhyl in Wales again, excellent Leisure Centre there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazza58 Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 I'd say Scarborough, if only for the hundreds of sentimental memories I have there. Ravenscar between Scarborough and Whitby also very nice. I,m with you on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LitleMermaid Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 A few random picture's I've taken whilst up there... (excuse the quality.. they've been mashed up a bit for the web). Wow they are incredible! Going to technically put my efforts to shame! Jet think he's prettier than the view... One half of my favourite beach in the world. Here is what lies just over a small strip of of grass dunes, and this is who lives there. He stared at us for a long time, before galloping away down the beach. A magical few minutes. We were so close to him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RJRB Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Whitby gets our vote too.It's still got character and is a good spot for heading up or down the coast or into the N.Yorks moors.We were there this week,and enjoyed good eating out,watched a seal off Sandsend,and a tall ship sailed into the Harbour on Monday evening.And it's only 2 hours away.

We go every November to celebrate our birthdays. It's just so atmospheric, it's impossible not to feel it. Last time we were there we watched one of those mass starling flocks doing patterns over the harbour at dusk. Magical! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E-clips Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 I love Scarborough. It has a North Bay and South Bay plus an excellent thriving shopping centre. It has some first class restaurants too (my favourite being Da Claudios) and excellent walks. It is spread out and there is room to stretch your legs and take the air. I like whitby too, but it is far too compact for me and is not a proper town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crookesey Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 I'd agree that bit of the East Coast is fantastic, had a weekend in Saltburn earlier this year, I also like Staithes, Sandsend and my top fave is Runswick Bay, why northern folks bother with Cornwall I'll never know! Oh come on b/f, you've obviously never spent a week in a caravan perched cliff edge in Tintagel. It was pure heaven for, the wife and I, my lad and his mate along with our dog. It rained every day, but that didn't stop the bloody seagulls tap dancing on the roof of the caravan. If King Arthur actually did make his home there he was a complete dick head. The caravan park did have a bar, but I blotted my copy book whilst ordering a pint of a very interesting ale with a 5.7 specific gravity, the surly steward, who made the amount of folk in the bar equal two said, "I can only serve you with two pints of that". I replied that I could only manage the one. He said "is it because of the strength?" I replied "no it's because of the company," we never really got on after that.
