I'm looking at family cruise in Cleethorpes in the Summer, I had quite a positive response in Chester when I mentioned it, so I've done some research today.
****WILL BE JULY 21ST AND WE HAVE HALF PRICE ENTRY TO PLEASURE ISLAND****
http://www.pleasure-island.co.uk/
From here we can cruise up the seafront and end up on the pier. The route is all disused road, tarmac cycleway or promenade. Ideal for kids! It takes in 4 pubs with large outdoor areas. Ideal for adults!
For those who are not into this sort of thing, I can offer the use of this place which is about a 10min ride away.

Or this:

As the park closes at 5pm I looked at a short 2 mile 4 pub route, departing the park around 5:30 - 6pm.
I took the NS rider out to scope the possibility:

First a quick visit to the trails:

Then a quick stop at the Greenwich Meridian:

A look at the obligatory Lake Ride:

Thought of Kappy on the way round:

Before you hit the beach and the promenade:

If anybody fancies 18 holes:

Then a quick look at the end point, the pier:

Obviously checking out the hostelries en-route ;)

For the evening, you can cast a net over all the bars and eateries, of which there are many.
Pleasure Island can take us any Saturday except the 28th July. Obviously August 18/19 is out for some reason ::)
I need to get back to her pretty smartish, but it looks like a good plan for a family ride.
There are 2 holiday parks next door or if you want to book a B&B on Isaacs Hill you are about 200 metres from all the beach bars.
LMK what you think and I'll get it sorted

Give me a date and I'm there I'm only 20 mins away :-)

Right, I've been looking at the dates available.
Taking into account:
Radchester (both possible dates)
Bournemouth (June 3)
Cleethorpes Scooter Rally (Jun 23)
London-Brighton (Jun 29)
Pleasure Island not available (July 28)
MK12 (August 18/19)
This leaves July 14 or July 21.
I can't please everybody on this one but will take a straw poll.
LMK your preferences :daumenhoch:

had to look up what 'glamping' meant... from the Oxford English dictionary..
glamping
Pronunciation: /ˈglampɪŋ/
noun
[mass noun] British informal
a form of camping involving accommodation, bumming and facilities more luxurious than those associated with traditional camping:
glamping is likely to satisfy any city slicker seeking a little refuge in nature—without foregoing any of life’s luxuries such as flavoured lube

blend of glamorous and camping, with lots of bumming thrown in
