April 2010 - With any luck!

Hi Guys

I am still struggling to find any reasonable flights to come out for Easter.  The best deals are from London airports but when you live in Scarborough that is a long way to go and when you factor in the travel costs it suddenly isn't a good deal anymore.  I still have not given up totally on getting some Turkey time and thought I might bombard you all with all thise questions you love to hate, especially Mr. Scunner:

Would I be right to think that the weather is liable to be similar to the last 2 weeks of October, when we had a mixture of everything but snow?  If anyone can remember back to the dim and distant past of last April 1st 2 weeks, what sort of temperatures could we expect?

Will there be much open in Calis, or is it still a bit early?

Do the water taxi's run from the beginning of April?

Is the Sunday and Tuesday Market still operating and in full swing

Will we be able to take advantage of some trips, like 12 island one?

Does the water park open or is it still to early and bloody cold?

I know it's hard to answer questions about the weather, in fact it's pretty impossible but just some ideas would be appreciated.

Also will there be any Doggy Do's going on between 1st and 15th April?

Thanks for all your help
Simon:D

They normally start to clear them up during the 1st week of May:D

Seriously, we were there last Easter and the weather was very much like October, Some realy nice days some not so nice and cold during the evening

No boat trips. The Aqua Park isn't open because yes it is too bl***y cold to swim.  Probably there will be doggy do's. No the water taxi's won't be running. Not much open in Calis except the usual bar's. Nil etc.

I think you really sold it there Anne

We found April to be warm and a nice time of year,warm and with the snow covered mountains to
    get some great shots off.
 Good luck with flights,if you can go a day or 2 before school holl,flights might be
   cheaper.Hope you get there Simom.

April is a fab time to visit - expect a diversity of weather conditions, but we find its the best time of year for walking, the wild flowers and blossom are beautiful.  We have sat out and 'tanned' during the good days.  take books for the bad days !   Whatever - its relaxing and probably far better that the english weather at that time of year !  (pack your own chocolate easter eggs though !)

I agree it's lovely in terms of the blossom, etc.  We were there for the first two weeks of April last year - I thought the flights were ridiculously expensive.  We had a couple of good days of sunshine but it tipped it down the rest of the time.

I just answered the questions. lol. However if he wants to spend a fortune to see blossom? Seriously it is a lovely time of year and there is plenty to do. It just doesn't involve swimming and boat trips. Easter IS early this year.

Why not leave it and come out for the kids Summer holidays when the weather is warm and everything is open?  Mr Scunner (our leader) got some really cheap Easyjet flight last year leaving from Manchester.
