Boozy Break in Beccles?

view map

My pin in the map landed on Beccles! Golf, Boat Hire, Museum and a nice Hotel sound promising.

I wonder if the locals are friendly? LOL!

My entry for the Thursday challenge (theme: a drink for the holiday). More #here#

I hear the natives are restless . . .

Fun! And I like that the focus is on the map rather than the glass. :)

That B1062, can get a bid busy sometimes
yesterday they had two cars and a tractor
Nancy Lobaugh11-Jul-2008 15:28
looks like you just need to pop by the boat hire, and you're at the beach shortly afterwards!
Guest 11-Jul-2008 13:52
Great image and looks like a nice place for a holiday!
Sheila11-Jul-2008 08:48
At least one of the locals will join you!
Yvonne11-Jul-2008 02:58
You'll be able to peer across the sea on a good day to Amsterdam from the coast!

Nice map photo. Oh, wait, THERE'S the glass! Nicely done!
Guest 10-Jul-2008 23:16
I've heard it's the place to be. Admittedly it was the Beccles Tourist Office that told me but whatever... great shot John!
Jola Dziubinska10-Jul-2008 20:49
The best ideas come when you take a sip or two :)
Victoria10-Jul-2008 20:13
Really nice plan
Gail Davison10-Jul-2008 19:56
Beccles??? Does it have selfridges?
Al Chesworth10-Jul-2008 19:47
Don't forget the golf bats.
Ray :)10-Jul-2008 19:11
Can you get Beccles Cakes in the superstore?
Nicki Thurgar10-Jul-2008 18:49
Hey, I know someone who lives around there...!!! Cheers!
Faye White10-Jul-2008 18:29
it's good to have a plan! hic! ;)
laine8210-Jul-2008 18:22
Pitch a tent on the edge of the golf course & you'll have more money for the superstore & boat hire !!
Lee Rudd10-Jul-2008 17:18
It is a nice place to go, but Tesco's never has any booze for some reason! :))))
Cindi Smith10-Jul-2008 17:10
Looks like you and Faye have the same idea.....so, where are y'all meetin' up? hehe! Maybe the Superstore??
Ann...10-Jul-2008 16:23
Sounds a familiar destination to me, but I don't think I've been there........?? LOL
Mairéad10-Jul-2008 16:11
Great idea!
Zak10-Jul-2008 15:54
Boney's got his own island!
J. Scott Coile10-Jul-2008 15:45
Worth finding out :-)
Pat Shawyer10-Jul-2008 15:39
Well done John...don't remind me of all this recession talk...
Guest 10-Jul-2008 15:31
great perspective and layout. Enjoy your holiday! :-)
Maaike Huizer10-Jul-2008 15:03
This is great. Looks like a holiday all inclusive
Dan Chusid10-Jul-2008 14:35
Let's do our next Pbase gathering on Boney's Island.

Then we can head on over to the Superstore for some
shopping and comparing notes over ice cream.
: )
Barbara Heide10-Jul-2008 14:11
lol! they are very welcoming, if you bring a nice bottle round!
Phillip Normanton10-Jul-2008 14:10
I hear the natives have all gone on a drinking holiday, so you should have the place pretty much to yourself :-))
Máire Uí Mhaicín10-Jul-2008 14:04
Looks like you'd be able to play golf, go boating,shopping,swimming,visit a museum, and have more good wine in a nice hotel,restuarant or golf club. I know someone who sticks a pin in the map of England every year and holidays at the pinspot!
