Feel free to join in with the planning. As I posted before I was thinking of something like Nottingham - Melton Mowbray - Oakham - Peterborough? - Cambridge - ?. If any one wants to add to or amend this route, feel free. If you want to add on to the start or finish , feel free. It is a work in progress and needs to evolve.

From Melton to Cambridge, we would go this way.................fabulous roads!

I always maintained that Sat Navs were for people who couldn't read maps. Then I got one as a present and it changed my mind. Great for a through the night 1000 mile drive across Europe. Passenger managed to get some sleep!

We only ever do Europe on the bike, and I navigate from the rear:D

No snoozing off possible on the back of the bike:D

Don't think anyones gonna be bettering that unless a combination of mountains, lakes, rivers, trees and new roads are built ...and even then the view would be a bit ****ty.

The A1307 is a particular favourite of mine. Fantastic stretch of tarmac ;)
