I've heard good things about the brewery up there so I'm looking forward to it.
Worst thing about it all is the only week we're all free happens to be my sodding birthday. I usually like to be on my todd on my birthday

Can recommend Sanders Yard in Whitby, just watch your head if you book the attic room, great breakfasts

I’ve been on flight and it was no aggro whatsoever

It’s not daft at all unless you somewhere on the banned list

So you've been on a plane?

Sykes are usually really dear because they take a massive commission.
Try HomeAway.co.uk - used to be called owners direct. Some good stuff on there

Yes 3 weeks ago, it was fine
I understand some people may still be a bit edgy or have vulnerable relatives so not everyone's situation is the same but I've no issue with taking a flight, like I say I flew 3 weeks ago and I will be flying again in 4 weeks.

They sell black ice cream in Whitby. To avoid producing what looks like lumps of coal from your arse for a few days, I'd recommend sticking to plain vanilla ice cream.

But like I say, it’s only daft if you go to a country on the banned list

Chances are the UK will be on everyone,s banned list soon.

I was only joking, I'd be open minded about going away but I can't really be bothered. It's a good excuse to go to some new places here I think.

Don’t want to go to 3rd world Greece anyway, can’t even flush toilet paper

Freddie; you could drop acid and spend the day searching for dinosaur footprints at Burniston Bay. Then, do as I did and climb one of the cliffs to take a dump while looking out at the majestic North Sea. Careful though, there is a footpath at the top and the last thing you need when sculpting fudge is some old dear disturbing the moment.

If you do Whitby Sam, try squeezing a visit to the Falling Foss if you can. There's a cafe next to it that does decent snap too.

Dalby Forest is good for some outdoor activities especially cycling

You and your mate's can come and stay with me for free. I've just had this sudden urge to have a house full of people.

Sod Yorkshire, especially at that time of the year.
Get yourself to London and enrich your mind in the museums, galleries and culture.
We were there last weekend and it was brilliant.
No masses of foreign tourists swanning around in the way, but plenty of places open, dying to have your custom.
Both the Natural History and Science Museums were open with free ticket bookings to allow social distancing which covers one day, then we did Greenwich, the Cutty Sark, Royal Observatory and Tower Bridge on the Sunday without the queues.
Fantastic, if a little eerie without the usual hustle and bustle.
If indoor things isn't your bag, then the Lake District is awesome at any time of the year, but it is very weather dependent and of course the days are getting far shorter by then.

Just booked a weekend in Edinburgh for the Mrs 30th birthday.
With COVID everything is going to have to be a little regimented (which usually isn't my thing) but I suppose needs must. So far:
Friday - Travel up there, about 5 hours so have a bit of brekkie then set off. Check in for hopefully around 03:00pm. Going to a restaurant called Makars which has good reviews on tripadvisor.
Saturday - Booked in the the national museum for 10:00am, then on to Edinburgh Castle at 03:30pm. Then off to another restaurant called The Cellar Door in the evening.
Sunday - Edinburgh Zoo for 10:30am, nothing booked in the evening so far but I fancy visiting Mary Kings Close or Blair Street/South Bridge. Then off to a Greek restaurant again in the evening.
If anyone can recommend anything else I could try and squeeze in, I'm all ears.

Get yourself a hopper ticket for the tour buses. These allow you to go on any tour bus and are great value for money.
The Yacht Britannia is a good visit too. You might need advance tickets nowadays though.
