Where to go for a boys weekend away in the UK?

[schmalex]

I'm orangising a weekend away for my circle of friends during mid / late September.

Everyone is

• Mid / late '30's
• Reasonably affluent (we don't want 5* places, but don't want to slum it either!)
• Married
• Up for a couple of nights on the lash, with some good activities during the day time

Most of us live in London / South, but a couple of people will be travelling from Northshire, so I am thinking about somewhere north of London to try & even out the travelling for everyone.

Can anyone recommend anywhere kind of in the midlands that offers a belting night out, but with access to countryside for a spot of clay shooting / rage buggies / white water rafting etc, etc?

We're all getting on a bit now, so certainly no puking & fighting in the streets!!!

I thought about Cambridge initially, as I don't think any of us have ever been there!!!

Nottingham is looking like a good bet as well. We went there for my stag 10 years ago & that was really the last time we all met up as a group.

None of us are mincers

Presumably you're in Bournemouth.... I'm from there and was about to post the same thing!

To the OP: West Bromwich - it's a wonderful place.

Don't worry, it won't be Bournemouth - I lived there for long enough to get sick
of the blue rinse brigade....
