Whitehaven, Cumbria Hookup Spots and Stuff Only Locals Know

Hook-up Spots (That hallowed spot where everyone hangs around with their mates dreaming of the time when they can get into the pubs or clubs - a bench, a corner: you name it.)

• Mc'Dees
• Vanilla is the 'Bomb' for sexy stuff - the window is definately worth a view. Nuff skating outside - we do it just to get a glimpse of bootie !!!! Know what i mean boys !! "Classy chicks"!!!!
• Castle Park
• The best place now in Whitehaven where the young teens hang out is on a saturday/sunday night is the "Shelter" on Whitehaven train station, top drink for the girls is the cheapo wine "Lambrini and Lambrusco" I bet the staff in the Tesco canteen opposite have had many a good view of what goes on in the "Shelter" at nights!!
• We used to hang round a park bench up by St James, them days long long ago, before the drug abuse took its toll......
• I hang out with my best friend in the park next to St James' school. We usually hide behind a wall at night so we can catch a glimse of the fit bird who get undressed in her window over the road. And we do it every night. We can see you.
• Mc DONALDS.... roy bacer. loadza little boys with nothing better to do than drive a shit car, and try to drive like they look cool. then they lap town !
• benches...wow
• who ever writes on this site needs a life, we r nt slappers jst coz we go on the dock after the park, we have a life instead of wandering around twn looking sad
• mainly spend afternoons walking up and down king street, expect to c every1 u know at least 3 times. the harbours ok in the summer i guess.
• the park
• a place where everyone hangs aboout is castle park almost everyone from whitehaven school (best school in whitehaven) and st. benedicts (bennies) go to have a good time (which mostly means drink!!)
• I think that the place for a budding young drop out to hang out is out side of bransty post office. If you wan't to hang out here... there are some tell tale signs and quotes you should use. note:- scooters, white addidas base ball caps/track suits, and bottles of cheap cider(anything with the word electric, lightening, dragon or white)shared by several 12 year olds are very common at this site -up point. You must say "'ERE 'EY!" before making conversation this gets the attention of the scally or towny. Do Not drink anything over £2 and as a mark of respect share it with 6-10 others and pretend to be "kemboed" or "buzzin' of ya tits" lol
• We especially like getting rite amang the Park for a night full of filth!
• Whitey rock at sunset sitting on sandstone... what its all about.
• Whitehaven is always dead. No one is ever out.
• Mirehouse, home of the crim's, reprobates and all other scum....
• Probably the best hook up spot is in one of the many churches with many quality young ladies in the congregations..
• Nothing to do with hook-up spots just some top news that Whitehaven is about to get built a top class skatepark. The boys from G-Ramps are about to start to install a £75000 equipment and park. E-mail me for further info.
• The Safeway Crew including the Q-busters are known to be the biggest ravers in town and we can drink anyone one from Tescos under the table, our staff partys are legendery through out the store!!!!! Q-busters forever.
• PUB
• Usually just outside St Nicholas's church. There are a lot of girls hanging around waiting for all the lads doing laps of town to go past.
• THE DOCKS WOULD PROBERLY BE A GOOD SPOT TO MEET ALL THE DIRTY SLAPPER WELL THATS WHERE THEY GO AFTER THE PARK YOU WON'T CALL THEM HOOKERS BECAUSE THEY DO IT FOR FREE LADDS!!!!
• Walk up and down between Blockbuster at one end of the main shopping street crossing Lowther Street, to the market place at the other, and you will see everyone in town at least twice, walking slowly in the opposite direction. Repeat as necessary.
• Many of the "chors" (townies, kappa slappers) hang around on the steps leading into St Nicholas Church gardens. It is best to avoid this place if you don't want to be inundated by chors asking for ten pence ("i'll pay you back- honest) or a fag.
• under the bypass by hensingham square its called the gill
• Outside Woolies.
• Behind Whitehaven gaitey cinema(if you like that kind of thing)
• On Saturday the best place for youths to hang out is in town looking around the shops, or just messing about.
• YMCA on week nights 6-9pm. McDonalds in Carlisle, most Saturdays at about 1pm.

The Knowhere Guide started out as a list of places to skateboard in the UK. It is a compilation of (unedited) information and views supplied by users like yourself. It is not a conventional tourist guide!

In most cases, the information in each section has been submitted by more than one contributor (the credits at the bottom of the page list some, but not all, of the contributors) and some of it dates back to the 1970s.

We make no claims as to the accuracy of the information in the Guide - our only purpose is to provide a forum for users to share their knowledge and opinions. So please keep a large bag of salt handy and be prepared to read between the lines!

If you disagree with a comment, or information is out of date, please submit an update! The contributors come from all walks of life, and their opinions are bound to be subjective, so if your view isn't represented, please speak up and contribute to the balance of the Guide. See below in the 'Have Your Say' section for how to add your voice.

If we have helped you out or made you laugh you can buy us a pint.
