The Good!
If you ever go to Scarborough, stay at The Sands at North Bay! It is the most tremendous place I have ever stayed. You feel like you are living in the sort of Apartment a footballer would own. It is pure luxury.
The Food
The best places to eat are the Blue Crush Surfer Bar which is attached to The Sands, and The Glass House which is just up the road next to the miniature railway. Tremendous food at both of these fine establishments.
Things to do.
The beach is great, The Sea Life centre is pretty good but overpriced. The above mentioned miniature railway is beyond awesome, and a walk along to the more touristy South Bay with all the amusements et al is also really good fun.
Random Thought
I noticed that there are some very cool people at North Bay and they mainly hang around at the Blue Crush Surfer Bar. They are the sort of people who wear scarves with a jumper (and not a coat) as a fashion statement as opposed to using them to keep warm. There also seem to be quite a few blokes my age or a bit older about the place who look like they could be playwrites or the like and they also just look cool and chilled out in a way I never have and never will be.
It made me realise that not only am I not cool now, I have never been cool! Good job I am happy eh! :-)
Journey (and other) Rants
Tractors should not be on the bloody road. Where are they going and why do they bloody well need to go there in a damn tractor? Haven't they got a Land Rover or something?
Why do cyclists feel they have the right to ride two a breast when cars are trying to pass them?
Why do cyclists feel they have the right to use a pelican crossing. That bugs me more than I can describe?
Why do cyclists feel they have the right to ride on the pavement and then ring their bell to get you out of their way?
Why do Sat Navs try to send you the most ridiculous routes?
Final Word
A fantastic weekend with Louise, the boys and Louise's Mam and Dad. This is the second year we have done this and I think it could turn into a yearly thing. I am growing to really love Scarborough. I feel really content there and if I ever come into some big money - the first thing I will be doing is buying one of those amazing Apartments at The Sands.

We went passed the Sands when we were at Scarborough and decided we would definetly stay there next time! They do look rather good, definetly the way to go with kids! We love a good uk holiday with the kids, priceless ;o)
ReplyDeleteWe would also recommend Centre Parcs, we have been there 4 times now! Love it to bits, pricey but so much fun and good time had by all.
We are thinking on a zoo or safari park visit next time, but need to research somewhere with a good apartments near!!
The Sands is incredible. We had one day where it rained and we stayed in alot and George played on the Wii and watched DVDs. The Sands has a big library of Games and DVDs that you can borrow for free. Centre Parcs always sounds pretty good!
