I'm married, M56, but my wife is going on holiday with her family for a week next month, I am invited, just can't go.

Thing is, I now have a weeks holiday leave left to use and am thinking of a solo trip....only I'm not sure where to even begin as it'll be a first!

Thinking remote cottage or similar, but prices are so expensive but don't want to camp out for a week at my age in a feild full of families etc, I think if would look weird.

Anyone else done anything similar and have any ideas?

I've been invited to a corporate event at Chester Races tomorrow and was hoping you guys may be able to give me a few tips and help pick some winners rather than me blindly choosing the horse because the jockeys cap is a nice colour!

Please help me impress the group with my impressive knowledge of the runners and riders!
