Advantages: Relaxed and lovely Disadvantages: Expensive and not a huge amount to do
Copenhagen
To celebrate a recent birthday (I forget the exact number) my wife treated me to a weekend away. I say treated me but we actually cashed in ten years worth of MY hard earned Airmiles and she paid the balance, but it's the thought that counts. We had intended to visit Vienna but upon realising that our visit would coincide with the semi finals of the Euro 2008 tournament - you know, the one we didn't qualify for - we decided that rather than share a romantic weekend away (sans children) with two hundred and fifty thousand tanked up footie fans (half of whom would be mightily annoyed by the end of the day) we would look elsewhere.
It didn't take a whole lot of thought to come up with our next choice: Copenhagen. To be honest I'd be hard pushed to think of things to see and do inCopenhagen off the top of my head; Tivoli ...
Advantages: Good track, good karts, good staff, clean, inviting Disadvantages: None
Sutton circuit is based in a small village called Suttonin the Elms, near Broughton Astley, Leicestershire.
I have been going to the circuit now for about 2 years, at least once a month. I have also visited many of the outdoor karting circuits in the midlands, and a couple a little further a field. I can honestly say that Sutton is the best maintained track, best maintaoned karts, and some of the nicest people you would want to meet. Some of the circuits I have visited, the quality of the karts is completely unacceptable when you are paying upto £45 for 30 minutes. In all of my time going to sutton I have only ever seen two karts break down, or have any mechanical problems.
The circuit is around 600 yards long, and a good average lap is around 39 seconds whilst using the hire karts. The lap record using these karts is 38 ...
Advantages: Not too many tourists. Disadvantages: Everything is expensive, very cold in the winter months.
Last New Year my partner and I fancied getting away and decided to book ourselves a last minute short City break over the New Year period. As we booked last minute there wasn't an excess of choice and that is how we ended up choosing Copenhagen as our eventual destination.
FIRST A BIT OF BACKGROUND.
***********************************
Copenhagen began as a small fishing village and rose to become the Capital City of Denmark, in Northern Europe. It is the largest City in Scandinavia with a population of about 1.7 million and is situated on the island of Zealand. The main language spoken is Danish although most of the Danes speak English. We didn't find communication much of an issue anywhere.
THE CITY.
***********
Copenhagen is a relaxed city, full of exceptional architecture and with a generally friendly atmosphere ...
