Drive to Munich airport and get on a plane to any number of places. Capetown or Cap Verde come to mind.

Yes, get your thick wetsuit and drive North. We had a great morning outside of Hamburg today. 10 degrees air, very warm for December. Forecast looks great up to Christmas.

Anybody went to Le Crotoy? Looks like blowing 20+ each day for the next few days... Flying is not an option since I already flew in from the US to meet friends to go kiting. Budget spent.. :cry:
North but cold seams a good option :thumb:

UK has been having a stunning season. Literally hundreds of beaches and your never more than 85 miles from the coast anywhere in the UK. Currently around 14 to 15 degrees and most days are blowing 20 to 45mph. :thumb:
