Tim, I can highly recommend Guernsey, Herm and Sark. I've not been to Alderney or Jersey (apart from once when we landed there because Guernsey was fogged in). Guernsey is a quiet place about 9 miles by 5 with great scenery, lovely beaches and good food and accommodation. And the people are lovely. It's a 50 minute flight from Gatwick and only 25 minutes from Southampton. I have to declare an interest - my wife is from Guernsey and we have lots of family and friends there. We go a couple of times a year - we spent Christmas there and will go again in the summer. I detect a PDML meet coming on :-) Chris -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
