Gemmill 44561 Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 I've been to Tahoe, aye. It's lush, you'll have a good time there. I wouldn't worry about the bears, I chinned the lot of them last time I was there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strawb 4194 Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Just booked a little cabin in the woods by Lake Tahoe as part of our tour of Northern California. Looks lush and I was really excited until I received the confirmation email back from the owner this morning, with warnings not to leave any food - even crumbs - outside, or in the car, in case it attracts bears. That's going to be a challenge with two kids, and should put the attack of the killer seagulls Renton experienced into perspective. Might wanna check when your lass is on the blob as well mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 21868 Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 they're attracted to soiled nappies too. we're literally going to be walking around the place like a family of walking bear snacks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gloom 21868 Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 (edited) i had envisioned getting the kids to bed, then enjoying a nice glass of californian plonk and some scran with the mrs on the cabin's terrace with our view of the woods and lake. instead i'm going to be peering out from behind the curtain, shitting myself in case the kids have led the bears to our cabin with their usual trail of food and mess.

Monkeys Fist 42205 Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 My tent used to be a regular wild boar arse-rubbing station when I lived in the wilds. Used to freak me the fuck out, probably more due to the prodigious amounts of greenery I smoked than any malicious porcine master plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howay 12496 Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Aye, black bears won't attack humans unless they feel threatened and even then they'll normally run away rather than attack. They're basically the pussies of the bear world. What Ewerk said here is spot on, Black bears are soft as owt I chased loads off when I worked at a summer camp over here. They're scavengers more than anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meenzer 15467 Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Not really a holiday but due to the insane price of city breaks decided to save a trip to rome/milan until later and catch a match and just go visit a friend this week off to Swansea tomorrow... not a great city tbh You mobile at all while you're there? Some smashing scenery within an hour's drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkeys Fist 42205 Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Sorry, try this " Get to the Gowwwerrr, there's lovely, isn't it?" Rob Brydon. Edit; also, just seen your ex was Welsh. Good job you split really, can you imagine the poor little bugger's accent if you'd had a kid together? Can honestly say I don't think I've ever heard a Welsh/Norn Iron accent- 10 inter webs to the first person to post one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
