Slow roasted hot smoked delicious brisket is what is served to the gods in the great hall Valhalla... Meatloaf is what you get in prison...

He was only planning on going to Liverpool to try get work on the docks . Here he met a Scot and a Geordie of around 18-19 who were stowing away to Canada . He joined them and the rest is history. Also Gallipoli to visit the Helles war memorial as my great grandfather was killed on the 29-6-1915 at the Battle Of Gully Ravine. He volenteered at 41 and died not long after his 42nd which he spent dug in on Gully Ravine on 5-5-15. Like many from the battle he has no marked grave' he lies where he fell . Take the bairn to Lapland for the Santa experience. Maybe Disney land Florida for the bairn but in reality it don't interest me. To travel around Great Britain in a camper van for 4-6 weeks. There are a few I'd like to tick off Max, i've just done the Disney/family thing (came back Thursday!) and i had all the doubts you have BUT it really was a very enjoyable experience. Thing is you dont need it for two weeks, a week is more than enough, four days is about right... PLUS your over there and if you do a fly drive get to have a little fun too. We drove down to the Everglades and stopped over in Everglades City, got to meet some of the best an most interesting people i could meet, with plenty of airboats, fishing, gators an coons... Could have stopped there 6 months! Florida offers so much more than Disney and i'm sure you could find plenty of invites out for a few days hunting or fishing BUT dont be afraid to do the Disney thing, its a family thing and well worth it... On the subject of bucket lists, i honestly believe that on our deathbeds there will be a few regrets of our lives but most will be just circumstance and if we have lived a fine active life, we'll look back with little sorrow BUT travel, the chance to put ourselves into another far flung place is something that we all CAN do in some way or other (Dick Whittington walked to London FFS!) and i think it will be a massive regret on our deathbeds, no matter how much we love our country, city, town or village. The chance to escape, just for a little while, is well within all our grasp. The world has never been smaller... Carpe Diem...!!!! (And if you have to ask, you'll never know..)

Born Hunter 17,622 Posted September 15, 2018 Report Share Posted September 15, 2018 Anybody done ancient sites, like the great pyramids, Aztec and Inca, Petra, Abu Simbel, Easter Island etc etc? Not quite inline with the OP theme of 'outdoors', sorry CJ. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
