happy_renting Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 I am spending a short weekend in Rhyl. I hope to only be there for about 40 minutes. Any suggestions from HPCers about how to fruitfully pass my time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winkie Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 I went there once.....nothing I could see wrong with it, 40 mins is not long enough to judge......you could take a rod and see if you can catch a dab from the beach......hope the weather is kind to you.

Is 40mins a standard time to spend in Rhyl then? I must have got that wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, are you sure it wasn't somewhere that sounded the same? It's an utter shithole a 2 minute drive through would lead you to that (correct) assessment.

happy_renting Posted February 20, 2015 Author Share Posted February 20, 2015 I was hoping to be pointed to sleazy backstreet bars and stuff. But remember, only 40 minutes including a wee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happy_renting Posted February 20, 2015 Author Share Posted February 20, 2015 Wow. 10 minutes for a wee. Are you drinking? I intend to stretch it out as long as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StainlessSteelCat Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 The Sealife Centre in Rhyl is worth a visit - and 40 minutes will give enough time to see best bits. The car boot sale (Sundays?) is supposed to be good too, but sellers be warned - apparently the buyers are tough negotiators. Rhyl has gone downhill considerably since the 30 years ago when I went as a kid, never mind 40 years. It's obviously no longer a tourist destination judging by the facilities on offer. Don't know if it's true, but I think it's widely believed to be a bit of a dumping ground for problem [English] families. From my brief visit last summer, I saw no evidence to dispute that claim. There were ten year olds chain smoking fags outside the local gambling shop, for example. If you have any choice in the matter stop at Llandudno or Conwy rather than Rhyl.

I was last in Rhyl 30 years ago. It was **** then. Agree about Llandudno BTW. Faded elegance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
