Is it possible to leave Hartlepool in the morning drive round the Lake District and return on the night back too the town ?


When we were kids our Caravan was at Pooley Bridge. From 1967-1983 the time taken to cross the A66 went from over 3 hours to around 2 hrs. Since then they've taken virtually all of the Single Carriageway bits out of the 66..theres only a few miles of Single left. I can do Travellers Rest to Ullswater in 1hr 25 mins now.

I'm often in Pooley Bridge by 8am, days walking, tea in pub, back home by 7.

I drag the journey out. Go to Middleton in Teesdale via Bishop and drive over the top to come out at Brough. Back via Penrith, Alston and down the Wear valley. Admittedly I do enjoy driving. :evil:

Look man. I want a luxury hotel, in the Lake/Pond/Pool/puddle/mere/water district.
Champagne tastes, lemonade money

When the car is parked, I have no intention of getting back in it, until we are heading off back to Hartlepool.
So..... It's pissed, bed, pissed, bed,, pissde, food, etc,etc.

It is not 1972. Going for an aimless drive around the countryside for the day, with a picnic basket in the boot, is not something we do in the modern age.
So you had a car in 1972..... Capitalist.

Its a holiday, therefore its luxury. If I wanted to stay in a tent, with a gas stove, and getting wet through in the rain, whilst doing "outdoor activities" I would sign up for one of them work thingys
....or join the T.A.

But as I have no intention of making things uncomfotable for myself, that will never happen.
When it comes to malign things uncomfortable for yourself, you have no equal
Why would I want to drive to Windscale, whitehaven, whilst on holiday anyway?
It was pissing down and I regretted it deeply

Mr Bishop. Please do f uck off.

I cant think of many places I would less like to go.

Even the thought of travelling there with familes loded with about 10 kids and their smelly sweaty parents, swearing like common folk, singing Y Viva Espana, and then getting there and them with Their blothed backs and their cardigans and their transistor radios, complaining about the tea "oh they don't make it properly, do they? And stopping at endless Majorcan bodegas selling fish and chips and Watney's Red Barrel and calamaris and two veg. And sitting in their cotton sunfrocks, squirting Timothy White Suncream all over their puffy, raw, swollen, purulent flesh, 'cos they overdid it on the first day, and swimming pools full of draft Red Barrel and fat German businessmen pretending to be acrobats and forming pyramids and frightening the children and barging into the queues. And if you're not at your table spot on seven you miss your bowl of Campbell's Cream of Mushroom Soup, the first item in the menu of International Cuisine.

It depends where you go doesn't it?

I went to Spain with my parents when I was a kid as I got older travelled and saw the World and now I'm married with two kids under 5 the last two years we've been to Ibiza and Majorca for family holidays and I've really enjoyed both. The flight is only two and a half hours for a start which just about enough for small kids and if you choose the right resorts you see that both are beautiful islands with loads to offer. Similarly a week in Benidorm watching tattooed blokes in vests from Barnsley drinking John Smiths is my idea of hell but I'm not sure you can't call a full country a 'quarry' because of that.

And don't forget every Thursday night there's a bloody cabaret in the bar featuring some tiny emaciated dego with nine-inch hips and some fat bloated tart with her hair Bryll-creamed down and big arse presenting flamenco for foreigners :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Have a paddle in the Lake, pint in the Garden of The Crown (kids can paddle there too) look round the gaff, come home! Great day out!

Right. As most of you appear to love the lake district, I would like some advice.

Me and my wife are going to go over for 5 days early august.

I have some questions:

What hotel would you recommend, bearing in mind there needs to be an element of comfort here? We dont want a B&B with no facilities. Oh, and dont want to be anywhere near a kid friendly place. Cant stand the little scroats. Nor do I want to be near scruffs there for factory fortnight, with fat blokes wearing ther string vests, smoking tabs, and generally being scruffy smelly twats.

Which of the lakes has the most to do........walks etc, Pubs, restaurants?

Is there enough to do, except aimless walking, to keep us amused?

And which is the best lake? If thats the right expression.

And does any of the lakes have a micro climate where it is hot and sunny all the time, without shitty wet weather that seems to plague everyone elses trip there?

No time wasters. Or else.


In a nutshell, there is nowhere in The Lakes that would tick everyone of the Colonels boxes. That is what makes it so special and keeps the riff raff away. Long may it reign :animals-dogrun:

I stayed in Blackpool a good few years ago all paid for etc as I won a seat in a Poker Tourney there. Only problem was it was October/November or something and was even more dead than usual, and im sure the theme park place was shut.

Broke down on way home too and had to be towed all the way back.

Just wish I had broke down on the way there.

Never been to benidorm, it's as much the people who go there as the place itself that puts me off. In fact probably more so.
They want a holiday somewhere like Blackpool but with sun, but they still want everything to be English and everyone else there to be mostly English. It's like Costa del UKIP.

Benidorm keeping away from the strip and going into the old town is a pleasant experience, going into the English area where the tv series is filmed is hell.

I've been for stag do and enjoyed it for what it is and that type of weekend. It's a lot cleaner and tidier than I expected as well.

I wouldn't go on holiday there in a million years though.

Never understood why anyone would want to go to Benidorm. Surely you go away for a break from this shithole not to sit in British bars full of brits getting drunk.

Exactly, why not go to real and interesting places on holiday. People sat watching Coronation Street and bars putting the fact they serve 'real gravy' on blackboards outside to entice pikeys in like Susse...sorry customers in is just fucking depressing.

Remember pools playing at Blackpool on Boxing Day 1984, we were back in B&B at 8pm, 10 of us playing bingo, £5 full house, everywhere was closed , it was dire.

Blackpool was okay until the 80s, when it seemed to sell out to , groups of people on the lash, rather than a family holiday. Last time I was there, was on way to Fleetwood couple seasons ago. Got off train at Blackpool and walked down to the seafront to get a tram. All the tatty , sleazy pubs in litter strewn streets in the usual Blackpool drizzle , advertising 2 for 1s and Strippers etc. Could of easily been in Benidorm, really tacky.
