I'm off to a summer lakeside country cottage in Finland for a week in September with my bloke, which I'm greatly looking forward to. Then around Christmas we're planning to go up to Lapland for a few days.

It should look something like this:

I was wondering what all of your favourite holiday destinations were, where you would like to go, maybe in the UK or abroad and what you'd like to do/see etc.

For holidays, im usually only interested in city breaks really.

The heat in all these exotic places makes me unbearably cranky and lethargic. I wish i could enjoy these, but i cant really. And its not even like i tan, my genes dont allow that. I just burn, then go back to pale again.

And quiet holidays bore me. Like 2 years ago, me and my family went to Wales for a week. It was nice for the first day or two, but i see enough sheep and hills here to last me a lifetime. There wasnt really much in Wales.

City breaks are for me. Ive never enjoyed a holiday as much as i did in London this year. Even though theyre exhausting, i love them. You would think, growing up in a city id want to get away from all that, but its great. Ive barely been any city breaks, but id love to do Rome, Paris, Hong Kong, New York and all those sorts of places one day. Thats definitely for me.

Another holiday that suits me are adventure holidays. Ive done a lot of them here in Scotland with friends and my school, and theyre great. Exploring caves, abseiling, climbing cliffs, rock hopping, white water rafting, ski-ing and all the like. Its great fun. One day, id like to go ski-ing in the alps.

A dream of mine is to go to Africa. My cousin spent a summer away from uni there, teaching english to young kids in school. Id love to go and coach sport, and if i can get over the heat, then its definitely on the agenda.

For me, Sheffield is the best holiday place. That's mainly because my family and friends live there, and I always meet up with them, which is enormous fun.

I went to Majorca about ten years ago and it was marvellous. The sea was blue and warm, and the weather was perfect. I want to go again now. :cry:

Unlikely, it is Scotland after all :(

When I was younger I couldn't sit still for more than 10 minutes, so holidays were always really busy and action packed. I've been to Florida twice, and when we went to France or Spain we'd always do water sports and go to water parks etc.

But now that I'm getting older, I'm quite content with lazing by the pool and just reading a book or something. As long as it's warm, I'm happy.

I went to Barcelona with some friends in early June, was great. Sun, sand and sea, with a city to enjoy as well, the best of both worlds.

My other holiday will be the Leeds festival later this month. I didn't go on any holidays last year. I went to Greece on a school trip when I was 16, that was a really good trip, it's a nice country and the food is very good. I'd like to go back to New Zealand, went there when I was 7 and it was amazing. I have family there and my parents have a lot of friends there too, so it would be cheap once I'd got there. Just need to find the money for the plane tickets...

I'm in Spain at the moment, which is okay, if a little dull. (My mum insists on coming to the place that my nan lived, even though she died three years ago. This is my sixth year here..) Going to Longleat forest in a few weeks for a weekend at Center Parcs.

Next year I'm going to Paris, and hopefully Austria and New York.

I went to New York and Washington last year which was really good. The best bit was when we got a boat over to the Statue of Liberty. T'was interesting and the views were lovely.

      No sign of James Cusack at Big Weekend. Ore Olukoga and Nikita Kanda were there. Will they be part of the weekend line-up over summer? Even Joel Mitchell and Tinea Taylor made it.

      Considering the price of some festival event for a small portions can be pricey but it isn’t too bad that could get it with chips and other roast dinner bits. I think when you are billed as a touring high profile DJ there’s always a risk of playing out familiar tracks from other artists in the mix. Especially on a line-up with Chase and Status and Rudimental who will be playing pretty much all tracks written, produced and released as their DJing names.

      Who presented Party Anthems on stage?

      Lots of adverts for Matt and Mollie around the place, alongside the rest of the weekday lineup, but no mention of Dean and/or Vicky. Although I notice those two are doing the photobooth today, as is Danny Beard…

      Yesterday was excellent pretty much all day. You can tell a lot of work has gone into the festival and the set up was really good. The ground is fine for anyone worried, I wore old trainers and they’re still fine today.    Merchandise is available for some high prices. If you’re going for Longboi merch get it early as they sold out within the first couple of hours.    The photo booth is also good and we met Vick, Katie and Jamie for a few seconds and got a photo. If you’re doing this get there 15-20 minutes before the advertised time as they’re only 30 minute slots. It’s right next to the main stage so you can see everything going on there from the queue anyway. Most of the acts we saw were excellent. Becky Hill and Ella Henderson were brilliant live. Rudimental and Chase and Status were absolutely incredible. Nathan Dawe wasn’t great, played 3 of his own songs then dodgy remixes of Marvin Gaye, Dolly Parton etc. Went to Dimension halfway through which was must better. Saw 15-20 minutes of Eric Prydz which wasn’t really my thing but his staging was excellent.  The DJ sets in between everything were pretty good, especially Matt and Mollie and Charlie Hedges. Sam and Danni were a welcome change as they played indie anthems for a while although I think they may have just been the pre recorded anthems they usually play on weekends (still better than Nathan Dawe). Food was good, but pricey - £15 for my main meal of roast pork, stuffing, chips and Yorkshire pudding. I was surprised they were selling multipacks of Madri and bottles of wine, especially the latter as people were walking around swigging from glass bottles in the middle of the crowd then dumping them on the floor… the rubbish was a mess at the end of the night. Probably one of the best live music events I’ve ever been to, a real credit to the station.

      While there were some technical issues (tracks temporarily cutting out, mics not working at first for radio listeners, 'studio team' sometimes jumping in at quite random intervals) Party Anthems on stage seemed to work well and I sort of wonder why they haven't done it before. I guess it depends on when gates open but if gates open around 1/2pm then no excuse not to do it- it's a DJ set which they have loads of across the weekend and acts as a warm-up so the crowd are hot for the first main act.

      They mentioned on air that it's before Joel Corry's set.

      When is the set for Greg and Tom? I’m having trouble getting on to Insta and Google is not helping.
