Maybe set up a Poll, Tim?

I will, but I'd like to hear the direct thoughts of those who have already taken part and who have already been involved with the discussion to date. Whether that be by posting here or by pm to me.

Dependant on work commitments,but looking unlikely for us.

We havent really given it any thought yet but we did talk briefly about a little tour up the country next year, we have family in the north east & friends in Scotland. So a possibility we could combine this with a kombi kaper. It would obviously depend on details, dates & cost. I would prefer to go away a little further into the school hols if poss.

a trip to scotland in the summer would not be the first choice for us. As a family we prefer to spend our main yearly holiday heading south towards the sunshine. The kids would take some convincing!

It would be a yes from us Tim , only really need to confirm dates with work and as I went back
Early from France I think I must get first choice next year...

That's fair and I understand. I do recall a junior member of your krew wanting to go somewhere 'different' next time though.

Depending on dates, it's a YES from us.

Cool. When you say further into the hols you mean more August rather than late July/August?

Great!

Wonder what the dazdub Kombi krew think about heading north-west? I know they're in sunny climes now ...... lucky things!!

Yes, maybe a week or two into the start of the hols rather than right at the beginning. As we wouldn't be tied to ferry crossings/prices maybe it's a possibility? Wouldn't rule it out just based on dates though

Yes, after 8/8 would suit us too, it would mean we can attend the family wedding without it interfering.

I had provisionally booked the same two weeks as this year but am sure I can do later if that's better for the majority.

We luv Scotland and will be up for a trip up north but also luv sun and need both

That's agreed then, Scotland with extra sunshine

I'll need to check school dates - schools in Scotland go back half way through August. We could well drop Jnr off at the school gates on the return!

Were struggling around that time but would it be ok if we sneaked a couple of days with you. Itd be good to see who ive been talking to and put some faces to some names.

Off course!

Poll added to capture thoughts. Expires in 30 days from now. Please give this some thought.

More votes please?

Sorry Tim but I think the poll is too ambiguous (though I have added a vote), as a lot depends on when the trip is. I for one, whilst would like to go to Scotland at some point, have no desire to take my two girls up there when the midges are biting. I'm also loath to a 2 day slog to a location, knowing I've a similar trip at the end of the hols. Whilst I could possibly manage, there's no way I could keep my girls happy for four days on the move. Likewise, the thought of travel-camp for a bit-travel-arrive is unappealing.

Just my thoughts but a mention of Isle-de-Re elsewhere sounds more appealing (for my 2p)

Or we could do Portsmouth crossing go to dordogne or vendee for a week and then a drive to spain for a week there and Santander back . 2 bays have done this and it will cut down on driving and the cost of Santander both ways

how about adding a France and Spain as one to vote for

That's a lot of driving daz but I'll add it in to check the interest.  The thing that seemed unpopular about heading to Italy was the long distances involved.  But let's see what the people think!  

So there's a new option in there for you to deliberate over please folks. You can hit CANCEL VOTE to have another go as many times as you like.
