replying to @bigfatheadz @bigfatheadz I don't think we do enough mooching...! Maybe that'll be something to add in! #pttravel

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A2) Depending on location usually set off at 6-8am and set off back between 6-10pm (depending on where we go) and probably around £50 if it's a day trip #PTTravel

The most annoying thing about trains to London is the last leaves too early to go to an evening show #PTTravel

replying to @Txiki_Tales @Txiki_Tales @kate_frankie #pttravel When I lived up there, if there were mountains involved, we'd look to start walking around daybreak.

A2 I set off early. Very early like 5am. I get back quite late, sometimes 10-11pm. Make the most of time I have. I spend as little as possible, mostly transport

replying to @StromfieldAdvs @StromfieldAdvs London is so close and I really don't take advantage of that enough. I love Oxford from living there a few years ago and still visit regularly. And I go to Portsmouth and Southampton often. But somehow it seems like a big deal to go to London for a day #pttravel

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A2: I drove spontaneously to Newquay, which took about 90mins from #Plymouth (had a little detour because I rely on maps, not GPS) Have a great #driving playlist, which is vital. Have been to London and back in a day (8 hr round trip) for a gig/event in the past too #PTTravel

replying to @StromfieldAdvs @StromfieldAdvs @kate_frankie That sounds awesome! I hope you guys have a great time and I can't wait to see what you get up to. I apologize for the typo in last my reply **day trips. I've got a cat on my lap that is demanding attention while I try to type 🐈 #PTTravel

replying to @bigfatheadz @bigfatheadz #pttravel Same thing with Southampton. Usually, if we're going to see a show, we take a car, just for peace of mind.

Most of the time I book a £35 premier Inn room on a Friday night in the vicinity of where we want to be and then arrive there about 10-11pm then head out to the place around 10am before driving home in the evening. I work too long hours to get up too early at the wend #PTTravel

replying to @vickyinglis13 @vickyinglis13 In all fairness, I’ve been to some towns with less to offer than IKEA. #PTTravel

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A2 For a day trip I wouldn’t go too far so maybe set off mid morning and be back by late afternoon, especially on a Sunday as need a restful Sunday night 😃 #PTTravel

replying to @findinganeish @findinganeish @kate_frankie A lot of the time the smaller buildings are - though having just come back from Neuschwanstein, there are exceptions! #pttravel

replying to @Txiki_Tales @Txiki_Tales @kate_frankie I think Whitby is going to be one of my trips this year. Probably. I dunno. I'm not good at making plans at the moment #pttravel

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A2: The earlier we can leave, the better! If the day trip is over the weekend, we aim to get back around 7pm. If it’s during the week, around 4pm. Budget is typically the same it would be on any given day- excluding the £30ish for transportation #PTTravel

replying to @Obsessed_travel @Obsessed_travel @kate_frankie because i don't drive, it's not an area I've really ever been to, oddly enough (despite living in the birmingham area for 12 years!) #pttravel

A3 Here I am meeting up with @SidewalkSafari and @VacationCounts on a day trip to #Dublin. Left East Midlands at 7am and got back about 9pm. I walked 16.5 miles that day! Parking at the airport cost more than the flights. #pttravel

A3 #pttravel Bath is easily do-able from here. Train if you're in a hurry; bus if you want to see the countryside

replying to @vickyinglis13 @vickyinglis13 You're Bedford aren't you? Yeah I think London has to be planned or it's no good - we've been up a couple of times without planning and failed to see anything we wanted to! we have learned now! #pttravel

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A2: spent £30 on #Newquay, as just decided on the day. That included petrol and lunch. Three hour drive for 3 hr stay 😁 Max for day out would be £70-80. Any more and I'd want an overnight. #PTTravel

Glacier Hike Day Trip 😊

replying to @vickyinglis13 @vickyinglis13 I don’t mind hitting the morning commute. It’s the weekend stag and hen trips I try to avoid. #PTTravel

replying to @NomadKeith @NomadKeith @Txiki_Tales @kate_frankie My hiking buddy and I try that, usually manage one day of dawn starts, then become the last people to leave the hostel, and are usually at the start of our hike by the end of popmaster on the car radio #pttravel

#pttravel I thoroughly recommend it! Last visit was some years ago, doing research into James Cook. Fish and chips at the 'Endeavour and Resolution; right on the quay, with a fishing boat moored directly opposite. https://t.co/zxEU8L79JV

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie Where are you based again?! I'm now wondering where's the furthest I can go in 24 hrs from #Plymouth! A friend in London flew to #NYC for a day once. And I've done a 10hr round trip train from NYC to DC in the past. #PTTravel

replying to @StromfieldAdvs @StromfieldAdvs @kate_frankie 😂 they love getting in the way. I love Bath, we spent one night there and it was a lot to see in two days but it's possible! Please let us know how it goes! We're based in Kamloops, BC, Canada at the moment but used to live in Kent and we will likely be back in summer #PTTravel

@dgtlwriter @kate_frankie I calculated recently that Plymouth *might* be the largest place in the UK I've never visited ... #pttravel
A friend of mine flew from San Fran to Paris for a weekend for a concert, once.
