I seemingly got a £365 tax refund in my payslip today. I'm a bit wary about blowing it in case it's a cock up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't find it online and I didn't buy it at the time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingram85 Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 (edited) Been to South Wales coast today. Had a lovely lunch in Penarth and a walk along the pier then drove on to Porthcawl. Porthcawl is really beautiful, especially Rest Bay. The beach is great. About to go into town and have a look at the harbour before heading back. I love Somerset but you drive the same distance in England and you get to Watchet which is nice but it has what I call coco pop milk sea. Here it’s got a blue tint to it. Gorgeous. Squint a bit and it could be Devon or Cornwall. Edited August 5, 2022 by Ingram85 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fancy getting as far as Penarth and not going the extra distance to Barry Notanisland (The beaches are nicer despite my pisstaking) I spent a lot of time in Porthcawl as a kid because my Great Aunt lived there, I view it with both fondness and dread 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry @chrisp65 Porthcawl is the rich man’s Barry Island. And it is an island, the clue’s in the **** name. But anyway, if ever you do ‘do’ Barry give us a shout and I’ll sort you out an ice cream on one of the quieter beaches. Also, just to finish repping the tourist board, if you do Penarth again it’s top notch for charity shop clothes shopping. Catchment area has posh people that like labels but wouldn’t be seen dead in the same thing twice. Also also, if you park down Penarth Marina, you can then walk across the barrage and get something to eat over Cardiff Bay. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 Penarth is ok, Piaget rooms are ok. The area around Penarth is interesting, Cosmeston Country Park is a nice walk, you’ve got Lavernock where Marconi did his radio thing. St Mary’s Well Bay is quite good for basic fossils. The view of Silli Island from The Captain’s Wife pub is nice. I travel a bit, I’ve found worse places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think we will go back and stay for a few days and explore a few more towns further round the coast. Also as Chris said, Cardiff Bay Area looks nice for a long weekend but that’s more of a city break instead of seaside. Just can’t believe I’ve never thought of going before, I just always seem to blindly stick to Somerset for a day trip.
