    Still annoyed I can't take advantage of this. Can't go away until 21st / 22nd July. Ahhhh

    Its so frustrating when a great deal comes along and you can't take advantage.

    How about when you've paid full price to go to hemsby for the week 8-15 july and now finding we could've gone a few days for nothing :rolleyes: but still hope everyone has a fantastic time and maybe see some of u there hehe

    i've been to southport before, its great, theres plenty to do, right on the beach if the weather is good, and theemost gorgeous shoppingcentre.

    hth

    woas

    The Pontins that is called Southport is not actually in Southport!!! It is in Ainsdale on Sea approximately 5 miles (south) from Southport itself. You can get a train from Ainsdale station (approx 10 min walk from the camp) to Southport, it is 2 stops and Southport is at the end of this line. The other end is Liverpool! Otherwise it is a 10 minute or so drive along the coast road.

    Should have said the camp is right on the beach which is wide and sandy. Take binoculars to see the sea if the tide is out!!! Never been in the camp, so cannot comment on what it is like.

    could you call up & extend your holiday with the free one? didn't know if it was an option but might make you feel slightly less bad about paying out for the full price holiday.
    Maybe see you there :D we are off on the 14th to Hemsby, just hope its nice. never been Pontins before.
    hugs

    We don't need to do it perfectly - good enough is exactly that GOOD ENOUGH.

    I did think about this but to be honest I'm far too worn out (and skint) come the end of the 7 days I dont think I could handle any extra days :rotfl: We do have a great time though!!
