    Greatstone or littlestone near dymchurch, both are really nice, close to dynchurch but not to close to lager louts,

    seaford (east sussex), just down the coast from brighton, nice little town, few nice pubs, big campsite down there and a few nice little BnB's depending on what you are after... right on the front, great pebble beach

    My dad fought off the hun at an ack-ack site at Allhallows. Used to go down there for old times sake and have a pint in the Pilot(?) when I was a nipper. More like Allhallows -on- Mud as I remember it, Oggy.

    All of those are stinkholes! Especially Leysdown and Allhallows

    Drive down to Bracklesham bay, you'll like that

    Unless you've got a caravan: they seem to breed down that part of the world.

    Ha ha ..... went there once for a day trip when I was a nipper.

    Like Leysdown ..... my sister lives at Sittingbourne, and occasional they go across the bridge to The Island, as everyone there calls it. Well one day, we ended up at Leysdown, real Caravan Country.

    Lovely old unspoiled seaside town: Westgate-on-sea. Between Birchington and Margate.

    Rye is nice if you can do without a beach or nip along the road to Camber Sands for an afternoon.

    Had three days in The Cotswolds last week. Bourton-on-the-Water. >>> http://www.cotswolds.info/places/bourton-on-the-water.shtml.

    Stayed at http://www.chesterhousehotel.com/. Dine at The Rose Tree.

    Whitstable........... But I'm biased.

    I wouldn't go to Westgate for a weekend. It's too near Margate and won't be an escape at all.

    Exactly what we did Sunday a week and a bit ago. Camber is great but parking can be an issue... so, go in the afternoon as some folk are leaving...

    Lyme Regis. End of.

    Worth the extra hour it'll take you to get there and back - honestly.

    Had a good old mods/rockers punch up in Clacton around '64-'65. Expect it's a bit quieter now.

    Exactly what we did too - got down there at about 3:00 - it was awesome. Sat in the dunes and had a braai.

    Swanage and the Isle of Purbeck - within easy reach of Durdle Door etc. - beautiful and it feels like a million miles away.

    Like Leroy said, it is worth the extra hassle to get to Dorset - lovely place.

    You're not wrong OR, but still got the old Bonneville in the garage for old time's sake. Sit on it and go Brrrm Brrrm (if I can get me leg over that is.....). Anyway there's a very old, quaint B&B/hotel in Pevensey (Eastbourne way) that's good, trying to remember the name!

    If I lived in Skegness, I could change my user name to Skeggy Red.

    Useless trivia time:
    Did you know that the old Viking name Grimsby ...... means 'ugly town'.
