Where to go on me hols?
 

Taking the nippers off somewhere in the beginning of August. Somewhere near the beach (or a lake beach), within 4 hrs flight. Do you know of any hidden gems?

What's Madeira like? Havent been before

There are plenty of places that are nice. you could go coastal Spain or lake garda Italy and that has the extra bonus of plenty of topless sunbathers :-D

I hear Morecome's nice .... :Suspiciou

OK if you're very old... mainly stone beaches and not very many

Spain is good for sandy beach,s and clean water i enjoyed palma and its only 2 hrs on the plain, ive just got back from tukey which was 4 hrs i domt know how old your kids are but my 2 year old was a nightmair crap beach,s and its a dump

Istria in Croatia for the sea or the Austrian Alps for the lake.

Depends if you want hot or not, or lots of people or quiet.

Hot/lots of people - we went to Canaries (Lanzarote) and stayed in east Playa Blanca near Papagoyo beaches - circa 4 hour flight nice food/place. Nice beaches/ volcanoes etc stuff to do/see.

We also like getting away from people and the rug rats love waves/surfing type stuff so don't really care about water temps as they live in their wetsuits so we go to the West of Ireland a lot (one hour flight or ferry). A great beach is Fermoyle Strand in Kerry and we hire a cottage at the west end of this that is right on the beach so you literally open the front door and they run onto the beach. Fermoyle Strand is something like 15 miles long and we get hacked off if there's more than a handful of people on our beach" in mid Summer. Big waves - fantastic scenery- good food etc.

Are you drunk or something :Suspiciou

Not yet why do you ask?

Your spelling and punctuation

Lol im on my stupid phone fingers are to big it looked near enough so that will do

OK - you are sober :D

Ask again in 7 hours and im thinking the answer will be YES ;)

Cyprus pal :thumb:

No beaches in fact due to the fact it's a volcanic island, it all just slopes into a very deep sea. That said I went there years ago and it is beautiful, lots of countryside, mountains, and walking. I'm not that old either :lol1:

Some amazing roads to whizz around on. Locals all drive like cvnts :D Local Rum not so good :(

I'm off to Madeira in October - Will post up photos etc when I can be ar5ed.
