Land of Dracula
by Lazlo Woodbine
No not Whitby. Thinking about a walking holiday in the Carpathian mountains. I can get a cheap Wizzair flight to Cluj for as low as £15 return but summer prices are more likely to be £70. Hotels are dirt cheap and beer less than a £1 a pint. The mountains are exceptionally scenic, the woods have wolves and bears, there are lots of medieval castles.
Has anyone on here been there? Are the paths well marked? Are their guide books? Would I need a guide.

No idea. It seemed nice in 1970, but we were just passing through.
I haven't read the guide above, but if I was thinking of going then I would.
Be wary, I hear some of the locals can be a real pain in the neck (sorry, couldn't resist).
But they like the night life.
They'd be batty not to!
Football manager Nigel Pearson claims to have had to fight off a wolf attack whilst on a walking holiday.The trick is to stand with your back to a tree so they can"t get behind you.Might I recommend you wear a spiked collar just in case Doug?
I"m sure you will be fine. What size boots do you wear?
There's a lot at stake here. It may be worth revamping your plans and hiring a car (a Batmobile perhaps) in case you have to escape, but drive carefully or you might still need a

Had I thought that this thread would generate some of the most awful puns ever known I wouldn't have bothered asking.
You should have known things would come back to haunt you, there's a sucker born every minute. Fangs again for the post.😊

I do hope that the consequences of your choice of holiday location are not too draconian.
In the same vein, you probably won't want to go there again - once bitten, twice shy.
I must admit to being gravely concerned at the quality of puns in this thread. In fact I'd stake my life on this being the worst such pun thread in existence.
You can count on the usual suspects to sink their teeth into this one.
Some of the puns are bloody awful - far too cryptic.
Sweet angel of death, please take me now.
Can't you cope with anymore punishment?
Lazlo, surely you mean 'Oh Sting where is thy death'?
Do you have any horror stories to recount, Lazlo?
