I live in Fleet, Hampshire.

We've done Legoland , Chessington etc....

...And yeah he loves the Aston , although i think he preferred the Coupe smile
Take him to The Wyvern.
Wooo spooky...!

Prince Arthur, cheaper biggrin

What does he like? My 15 year old doesn't like leaving his bedroom!

Wife and I enjoyed a day out down at Hurst Castle, drive through New Forest, boat ride, castle, guns, sea, (we were in a hurry, but you could bookend it one end with lunch at the Gun if it's still any good - I've not been in in 20 years!) Might be a bit brisk in November, but you might get a great day.

Of course neither of us is 15, but I would have enjoyed that when I was, I suspect.

Could go and see Looper at the Vue in Basingstoke, my 15 year old enjoyed that on Sunday...

PS Brooklands/MB World - Good shout for the nephew, maybe not your sister? Maybe let him have a drive in the young driver experience thing too?

Prince Arthur...he's my nephew, i don't want to scare him smile

Yep he's 15 , computers and music and his mates. Can't really do the coast , I only have a two seater so that rules out taking the two of them out. Something local'ish to here or on their drive over from Tunbridge Wells, Kent - so MB World/Brooklands sounds good. I'll have to investigate the young drivers experience a little more.

On a separate note , anyone in Fleet area been to the monthly meet at the Emporium in town or heading there tonight ? Going to check it out at 7pm...mate is bringing his Maserati 4200 Spyder.

What about the dry ski slope, there's one around there isn't there, Bracknell?

You don't have to be sporty to want to be a boarder...

My son is into Guitars and we had a lovely time. Also, plenty of bars/cafes etc at the 02. Also the Cable car over the river, or a Thames cruise?
