... When you're not playing Fun Trivia of course. Where do you like to go, alone or with family or friends, because it's a great spot to relax or just awesomely beautiful?
Mine is a beach at a small village in Cushendun, on the Irish Antrim coast. And when you're finished walking on the sand, throwing sticks into the sea for dogs to retrieve, there's McBride's pub across the street for lunch and a pint.

For me, my favourite locations for rest and relaxation Lake of the Woods in Northwestern Ontario and any of the beaches on Lake Winnipeg (especially Victoria Beach and Gimli). Reply #1. Sep 07 09, 10:11 PM |

Captain Cook's Monument. It's a local landmark here, you can see it for miles and miles, it's like a large obelisk right on top of a hill, in the middle of Forestry Commission land. I can't get up there anymore, it's a good hike, so it's been years, but the view from the top is just lovely - to me anyway - it's "home" :-D Reply #2. Sep 10 09, 4:08 PM |

I found this site with lots of lovely walks, including the one up to the Monument http://www.captaincook.org.uk/walks.php Reply #3. Sep 10 09, 4:09 PM |

Along the banks of the upper Thames. It travels through some very peaceful places away from the hustle and bustle of daily life. Reply #5. Sep 14 09, 9:49 AM |

We have a lot of beaches where I live, so that's something I like to do. Hilton Head is kind of nice, and there are some private beaches that I just love. I also love the mountains. Reply #7. Sep 15 09, 2:58 PM |

Any beach is nice. Used to live in Hilton Head and miss it, but the desert and the surrounding mountains offer wonderful places to get away from it all. Reply #8. Sep 18 09, 9:58 PM |

Great question Daithi. Late last year, I was fortunate enough to take the family on a round the world holiday. Of all the places we stayed in, Hawaii was the 'bees knees'. A close second was Victoria, British Columbia. It should be mentioned that every destination has the potential to be the best/worst, depends on what you make of it. Reply #9. Jan 03 10, 9:23 AM |

For a short (half day trip) on the back of my son's bike to Mt Mee - the National Park there is great for a walk. Natural bush and lovely waterfall. :) In the other direction I love the ride down to Nimbin. Takes almost all day once we ride and have a walk around, always with a few stops on the way there and back. Reply #10. Jan 05 10, 2:13 AM |
