Holiday in England

JJuggle · 2004-04-07, 01:56 PM

A tentative visit to England is shaping up for my family sometime in August. We'd be in London for a couple of days and likely around Cheltenham for the rest.

So, who would this be near?

Also, how far is Cheltenham from Mostyn? If it's workable perhaps I could spend a day at the Mostyn Mayhem.

In any event I'd like to insist on putting one day at least aside for me to spend with some riders.

Cheers,

You'll be about 2 1/2 hours from Mostyn.

There are lots of riders around London and a few near Cheltenham. You'll be right next to the Forest of Dean which is a great place for a ride. Very popular with mountain bikers. I sure you'll get a few riders keen for a days playing there.

Rapheal,
If you and the girls want some time at the beach while your in the UK, why not pop down to the South West, meet TreeP, Phil, Paul, thinuniking, and me and others to go play with. The beaches are prety nice too. Our local beach at Dawlish Warren just came 6th in a list of Englands cleanest beaches ( its the highest placed Devon beach). We were going to go there today to fly kites but it kept raining, so have had a lazy day at home instead.

Hmmm, thinuniking, huh. Well as long as Ben promises not to harm me, it sounds quite nice.

How far is where you are from London or Cheltenham?

The more my wife and I talk about this the more we want to do it.

Exeter, where Paul and Sarah live, is about 2 hours away from Cheltenham according to the AA; I live very slightly nearer. If you decide to come down this way I for one would like the opportunity of meeting you! We'll promise to stop Ben correcting your grammar all the time...

Since moving down to the South West from the East Midlands I've been quite impressed by the number of unicyclists down here. Now I get to ride with other people many weekends after having to put up with months on end of riding on my own.

Dawlish Warren used to be the nearest beach years ago when I lived in Devon, and I still think it's one of the best beaches I've been to.

Sounds doable.

British place names are surely the best as well.

It looks like I'll also be staying a day or so with some friends in Walthamstow. That's somewhere in the London vicinity I'm told.

Well, we're booked to arrive at Heathrow at 9:05 on 7-Aug. We'll be in Cheltenham the 7th through 12th and then in London the 13th and 14th.

The Cheltenham Juggling Club meets on Sunday evenings and I'll probably head there on the 8th.

Hopefully I'll be able to spend a day with some unicyclists. Look forward to meeting some of you.

Emma is particularly excited about seeing Big Ben, some costume museum in Bath, and not eating anything marmite related.

"If"? I would have thought you'd use "when".

In any event, no, Canada is close enough for those purposes. Just so damn cold.
