...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....

The Isle of Whatnow?

My grasp of British channel islands is a bit tenuous these days, though, if things continue around here apace, I may be joining you in your exile.

The Isle of Wight happens to be really actually quite near where I live on the South Coast. In fact if I was *much* fitter, I might even be able to swim there, if I didn't mind getting run down by the odd container ship.

The Isle of Man is a bit further north, above Wales just off the West Coast. Scilly Isles are off the far southwest (West of Cornwall). Orkneys, Hebrides etc etc are waaaaay north off Scotland. Channel Islands are actually nearer France and are Guernsey, Jersey, Alderney, Sark and maybe some others that I forgot.

Here have a Wikipedia Geography lesson on me!
