Advantages: Cheap and cheerful day out. Disadvantages: Too many people on the routes there in the Summer.
I thought I'd write a Weston-Super-Mare review since my husband and I took our little ones there today for a spot of sandcastle building. As we only live 15 minutes away, down the M5, it's a place I have frequented throughout my life.
My Grandparents live in Worle which is just off the motorway on the way in to Weston, and always took us to the seafront in the Summer, so this is the place I shall start.
THE SEA FRONT
Weston-Super-Mare is in North Somerset (previously Avon).
Weston-sur-la-mer (on-the-sea) became Weston-Super-Mare for obvious reasons... our tangled evolution of language! I suppose it is sort of on-the-sea, but is really on the Severn Estuary. This means that there is a lot of mud washing up and down! We often, jokingly call it Weston-Super-Mud!
At Weston, the beach is very very long and expansive ...
Advantages: no matter how many times you read it you will still not know excatly what it is about. Disadvantages: I really dont no!
I have not read alot of Walter de la Mares work. But I have read the listeners which is a poem. Depending on how you read this poem the plot changes. If you read it literally then it is about a traveller that has arranged to go to somebodies house but no-one is there only a host of phantoms. But if you read it metaphorically then it could be about some one looking for an afterlife or a god etc. Whichever way you read it I can almost guarantee you will enjoy it and will read it through a few times. And your views on what this poem is about will most likely change everytime you read this, and I think this is one of the many reasons this poem has lasted for such a long time. ...
Advantages: So auick & easy! Saves you getting wet when others are still constructing... Disadvantages: None that I can think of!
The Mutts Nuts!
These things go up & down in minutes (or at least the 2 man vector does!) stand up to all sorts of weather (I've used mine in a hailstorm in gale force winds in Biarritz!!) & they are pretty light.
They also came in all shapes & sizes which are variations on the basic Dome.
When new you just fix the inner inside the Fly & that's where it stays, the tent is almost free standing when the poles are locked straight although like all tents it is important to stratch the peg rubbers when anchoring it down & apply the Guy lines if expecting rough weather.
Even with the Guys in place this tent only uses 12 pegs!
I've been touring on a mountain bike with one in France numerous times & the simplicity when you have to keep putting up / taking down is great.
Mine's also made from a ripstop nylon, which helps when it ...
