Out and About

If you live in Surrey then you'll know that things can be quite pricey and when your looking for something to do during the day or night you should be prepared to get you're purses out.

However I'm starting to think that there must be a way around this. As a student the term 'spare cash' is not something I am very familiar with and this is true for a lot of people whether you're a students, a parent or just not making as much money as you would like to. Which is probably a large part of the population.

Which is why I think tat we're so lucky in Surrey to have so much around us. For as little as £7.50 you can get the train to Central London and it's more than easy to spend a whole day there with your family or friends whilst spending no money at all. Take a packed lunch and then just spend the day relaxing in Hyde Park, taking a walk on the South Bank or just seeing the sights.

Everywhere in Surrey is also quite close to a beach. Another excellent way to have a day out whilst spending as little as possible. My favourite beaches are in Bournemouth and that's only 45 minutes away from Farnham by car.

But even if you don't feel like travelling so far why not get a group of friends and just go to your local park. In the summer my friends all try to arrange at least one 'activity day' at our local park. This involves everyone bringing sports equipment that they might have laying around at their house and everyone just having fun. This normally starts with everyone playing rounders or badminton and normally ends with the men playing football and the girls watching.

The point is there is no point staying in when you can get out for nothing!
