So here I am with 2 days next week (Monday/Tuesday or Tuesday/ Wednesday not certain which yet ) a night pass and a touring bike.


Based near Southampton and have tent will travel, others welcome to join me of course but happy enough on my own.


I am familiar with the roads up the england wales boarder and down to cornwall so was thinking where else can I go.


Reconing on 6 hours on the road so that means most of the UK South of Manchester avoiding motorways of course...

Thinking final destination will be a pub with camping...


All suggestions welcomed...

I will move this to the right section :lol:


if you haven't done Lincolnshire or Yorkshire how about heading that way?

 

I think my first post on this forum said if it's not in the right section please move it.... I have not improved.


Lincolnshire maybe but roads to Bicester are well traveled, seems I get around :o


Yorkshire is 6 hours riding to get there avoiding motorways so maybe a bit ambitious ..

6 hours on the road - you mean 6 hours there and 6 hours back?

If so, then Wales it is. 2 hours 40 from Southampton to the Brecons. 4 hours 20 to Aberyswyth. That gives you plenty of time for playing on the glorious roads. I've been there once, so I can't claim to know the best roads, but the A44 to Aber is awesome, as is and the A483 from Builth Wells to Newtown.

Just make it up as you go along,head nowhere then make a right followed by a few lefts and a few more rights and I guarantee you'll find a great riding road somewhere finished with a nice beer and somewhere to stay, making a plan always turns to shit( at least it does for me lol) Wales , Yorkshire dales or peak district are always winners but anywhere away from major towns and cities will always bring good riding, enjoy :thumb:

Talybont farm Camping.. in the heart of the Brecon beacons. in the little village of Talybont-on-Usk.


Motorbike friendly site.. website has picture proof.

2 pubs just a few minutes walk away. About 150 miles from Southampton - fastest route avoiding motorways, so that ride can be made as interesting/pleasant as you like. and just about perfectly placed for an explore of the area.

What interests you ... scenery, castles old villages etc rorare you just thinking of finding good roads ?

 

Nice quite (LOL) roads not motorways.... Scenery is good tourist traps not so much. Thinking off getting out of ruts, very easy to revisit cause its easy.


North Wales I know Brecons not so known to me. Mid-wales I have never tried. Presently thinking of long ish loop Brecons Black mountain Pass Porthmadog Hell fire pass heading south a bit camping with pub, heading home Wednesday I have to be back by 15.00


Get it right I could do all the south wales Tags as well but not so important as good scenery/ roads....


Not scared of more than 6 hours in saddle just 6 hours in saddle (have done 10) its just a good target for relaxed day....
