  1. I was absolutely addicted to 100ft wave in Netflix for ages lol.

    Would love to visit one day although I suspect it’s not as accessible as it used to be.

  2. Yes, I suppose getting to Nazare is not straightforward, but its a scenic journey and during the off-season (when the biggest waves arrive) its a VERY affordable getaway.
    I travel with a group of 4 or 5 friends, so we find cheap flights to Lisbon (about £120 return from Manchester), stay in great AirBnB's in the centre of Lisbon & Nazare (about £30 per person), travel by scooter (125cc Hondas from Scooteria - about £20 per day - such fun), and we visit some amazing sites as we ride north up the beautiful coast to Nazare.
    Both Lisbon & Nazare, are affordable places for food, drink & accommodation and the locals are very friendly.
    Happy travels.

  4. Maybe this is why native Wigan folk are called pie eaters.:thinkingface:

    Update:

    In 1926, more than one million coal miners were at loggerheads with pit owners over wages and working conditions. So, in a show of solidarity, many British workers went on strike. The protests lasted for several days, but Wigan workers were apparently among the first to return to their shifts – and in doing so were said to be ‘eating humble pie’.

    They’ve been teased about it ever since. But according to Wiganers, that’s a little unfair.
