ok...

...so I need someplace to go to head off an imminent breakdown/flip/emo period/mid-life crisis for a week. Need some time to myself to have a proper think about where all this stuff is going.

Anyone have any ideas where might be conducive to pondering? Criteria as follows:

1. Must be cheap(ish), preferably under £200 for a week or so, to include transport and accommodation
2. Must be stress-free (i.e. not tempt me to try and go to every inaccessible weird landmark in two days)
3. Must have NO INTERNET ACCESS and preferably no phone signal
4. Clement weather negotiable

I was wondering about the Isle of Man? Any suggestions? G'wan....

All okay? Can be available for beer and ranting if need be.

My house. I'll let you stay for free, feed you, and not let you anywhere near the internet.

Very remote, very beautiful although probably cold. Not expensive to get to. I think flights from Soton.

You okay? Am off to Memphis on Tuesday but ring/txt me anytime.

If you can, try the Scilly Islands. Bit of a hike, but worth it - extra quiet, very little to do apart from walk, and eat fresh fish. Might drive you crazy after a week or so.

Under those circumstances, I'd head to Exmouth. It's in the middle of nowhere and so dirt cheap and there's nobody to get in your way, there's a lot fo nice hills for walking on in easy distance, and there's an amusement arcade on the front which hasn't seen a new arcade game in since 1995. It's like heaven.

You can stay at my parents' house for free.
Room to yourself - I'll be busy with studying.
Nice big garden and 5 minute walk to beach.
Net access is prohibitively slow (avg. 36kbps) and there is a cool dog to play with.
Offer's there - all you'd need to buy is a flight.

the Isle of Mann is cool. I normally go during TT week.
