Going out for the weekend
I want to go out for the weekend and do something different, not cinema or bowling etc, I shall be wanting to take a special lady friend out with me too so any suggestions would be great please, I dont think Paintballing etc is her thing either before we get any of them ideas 
If it helps im in Lincolnshire. Money isnt really an object, within reason though, still got bills to pay at the end of the month...lol
Feel like a tit asking for ideas, should be creative enough myself but been thinking for the last hour and cant think of anything to do.

I've got about 30 tonne of hardcore I need shoveling, I'd be happy to let you do this and share the unique experience with your date, I won't even charge you (much) for the privilege!

Im prepared to travel far for the right suggestion shall we say, if need be I can get someone to come and look after my Dog if I need to stay the night anywhere 
Dont think shes keen on buildings, Ive always liked old castle ruins etc and wanted to visit Warick but she never showed an interest in that, infact nose turned up was more of a reaction
stilover, no thanks. no wonder you love STIs so much if you visit ***** houses
Olly, thanks for that, dont really fancy working up to much of a sweat
STiWS, decent suggestion, thanks. Not really a horse lover though, in fact quite hate the fact that I might get on a horse. Got me thinking on that sort of lines though

Weather looks OK for tomorrow, take a picnic, get down to Cambridge and take her out on the river. If she's special spend the time talking rather than looking for activities to just fill time!

Good idea or combine it with maybe a Polo Match - might get her in the mood - unless she buggers off with one of the players

Thats below the belt STIWS you KNOW that'd never happen, oh and she follows liverpool albeit not closely.
Olly, not a bad suggestion, thanks. Never been to Cambridge, is it a nice place? Am I going to look a tit having a picnic by the river? I wet through round here at the minute so it'd have stay dry all day and night for that one to work.

How does cycling sound? Cycle round Rutland water and stop off at a cafe half way around for some lunch and maybe stay in a nice little village somewhere nearby? Sounds like a good plan

Depending on the weather, picnics by the river are not uncommon, it's just getting a little late in the year perhaps.

Dales - Both been and done that as kids with school and found it a little boring
York, now Id like to go back again and visit this place, could even give her some time to spend a couple of hours shopping but not sure if its right for what I want this weekend.
Get very drunk, hmm, going to be hard since Ive given up lager for good, and no that doesnt mean just drink a few bottles of wine instead
Pidgeon shooting, I do that at work in my spare time, clays will be boring 
Absailing or rock climbing would be awsome but doubt its her type of activity although she liked doing the rapids in the Alps a fair few years back, not sure if there is owt like that in the area here though.

hence trying to find something to do that'll be a laugh for the weekend. Scared the cycling idea might end up a bit knackered to give each other any attention in the evening 
Paris isnt going to be cheap is it?
