Maybe good cities or places worth visiting or maybe just things to do that are cheap as opposed to staying in and being a hermit to save money. Any ideas?
I know a couple that go away on a cheap random flightevery month (sometimes twice in a month) - their criteria is that they spend <£100 for the weekend (flights/accom. included, although they usually know people they can stay with in every place)...could be something to look into?
It depends on what you want to do, really...and how cheap is cheap.
I'd say Edinburgh Festival too, but it is expensive. So I'd probably vote for Lake District for all roundness. York if you like a nice town down in England, and Edinburgh for Scotland.
