Hi All,
I realise that many of you are form out of town so to speak. But of those in the know where are the best spots for weekend adventures with the family? Wifee and 2 Small Girls.

Hi
Depends on what you call adventures. From the midlands you have all sorts of options, assuming you want driving fun as well as kid freindly stuff.

- North Wales, Anglessy, there are some really nice camp sites in the mountains or right on the beach, with some interesting local byways.
- Peak district, again nice campsites and byways, hills, lakes and cliffs to play on.
- South Walse, Brecon Beacons, or go a bit futher to The Gower or Pembrokshire.

the list could be huge but we could really do with some more info on what you call adventure.

Unfortunately we didn't do much of anything while I was stationed in England. We "hiked" a few times though Aspal Close near Lakenheath Village, but that's really about it. There are some beautiful small roads in England though. Sometimes just navigating though cities in an American SUV was adventure enough!

Come to wales or go to scotland you already know about the busy bits in between.
I'm in the south close to Brecon and the Gower - hills & beaches what more could you want

Scotland is really really amazing and wonderful Country of the United Kingdom. I want to go for a trip point of view with my family. Is it good or not?

Scotland is an amazing place.

Your family will love it.

A word of warning though, if you go in Summer, late May through to early September - weather pending, it's midge season.

If you're going to go during those months and you're going to travel inland away from the breezy coasts, I strongly recommend you take midge face nets or hats.

There is a midge forecast website, not sure how accurate it is.

That is the ONLY downside of visiting such a fantastic country.
