favourite days out

Where are your favourite places for days out; not sports related?

For me, it's got to be York with it's selection of Real ale pubs.

Easy and cheap to get to by rail and excellent day out drunken

wouldn't mind a trip before chrimbo

Unfortunately I would have to say Leeds, just because I love having all the shops to go round!!! It was better before though when the Corn Exchange was still full of rock and metal shops!! I could spend a whole day just in there. If I had to pick a second though York would definitely be it.

I agree with you Terrier. Shopping in Leeds is fantastic. I spent a couple of days (and a fortune I don't have) buying loads of clothes that don't fit. Good times.

Never been to York. I will have to at some point though.

Has to be a w/end in York for me too.............I am crazy about the place and never tire of it.

I like york, and Whitby is pretty nice.

Best place to be on a day out for me though is Brid, proper nice place, even better without the smackheads...

Not sure about Whitby but i love york and Bridlington,Blackpools a nice place too with the tower n all that jazz.

I'm the same Wednesday. I never have any money left after a trip to Leeds even if I don't need anything. I'm not to bad in York but that's getting to be the same. You don't know what you're missing out on there Wednesday, you need to get yourself a day trip to York organised. I love it there.

Like York, Durham, Whitby.
Richmond on a nice hot summers day is good, sitting around the river bank with fish and chips and a spot of fishing.

Couple of cracking chippies in Richmond, one does a nice haggis and chips.

Haggis, i don't think so, i will stick with a nice piece of Cod.. favourite days out Icon_razz

by **Terrier2009** Mon 7 Dec - 7:25:10

Fish and chips is always a good meal on a day out. I'm funny about it though so don't have it very often.

by **NIGHTMARE** Mon 7 Dec - 7:31:04

Liverpool and Newcastle fantastic places for shopping and drinking some nice places to see and walk round too

by **Terrier2009** Mon 7 Dec - 7:32:13

I've never been to either of them. I once went to Liverpool for a transition day thing with my sixth form but I spent all day in a blooming art gallery because I didn't want to be on my own and all my friends were going there.

by **yorkie64red** Mon 7 Dec - 7:37:17

Newcastle is great, i discovered that this year when i stayed over, and very friendly people hope to go back at some point next year.

by **thornabyred** Mon 7 Dec - 7:43:19

If you go to Newcastle then have a pop to South Shields. Decent beach, plenty of pubs and chippies. Fun fair and boating lakes .Mix of mags and mackems shirts as you wander about.
Just jump on the metro from Newcastle. ways eaither direct to South Shields or down to North Shields and get the ferry over the tyne.
North Shield fish quay is good for an hour or so. Prawn capital of the UK and you can buy a big bag for a quid.

Now that sounds like my cup of tea Laughing

by **thornabyred** Mon 7 Dec - 7:46:58

Some good chippes along that stretch and an old fashioned grocers with lots of the older types of sweets, coltfoot rock, licorice sticks etc.
