The Next GM Trip
 

This is a bit of an advanced/ideas thread for a 'big' trip next year. Thinking of doing another trip like Bodmin, a long weekend. 3/4 days in a location 200 miles or so away.
My thoughts were either Lowestoft/Norwich area, or Wales-Middle/West Wales.

Time frame i was considering is April/May or similar to this year end of August.

Throw some ideas around and lets get something going.

Plenty of time to make sure we are all free, available and time to save pennies.

Yorkshire! Having visited Paul the 6th this year, the roads are epic. I'm not saying we crash his house, although he may offer, the lovely young scamp. But a camp site would be fine, and he can even furnish us with some uber routes.

The only downside is in order to make the trip up their interesting, we'd have to get quite creative and be prepared to ride all day, cos the M1 is pretty wank!

Vid of my trip up there this year. It's very long, cos there was a lot of good riding, but skipping through it will probably find highlights all the way.

France is closer than Yorkshire and Bodmin. The roads are better. This place is great.

You could consider this or you could just slag the French now?

Been there.

Would happily slag off the fench but can't deny that the roads are good... In as much as they're emptier than England's at least.

and car drivers move to let you pass, France is well worth it. I did Normandy few years back and been meaning to go back ever since

Re: The Next GM Trip
 

i do like France and enjoyed riding over there. The French drivers are very courteous to bikes and the orad surfaces are good.
Saying that, in the West Country, even on the B roads the surface was amazing.
I think if we did France, we'd need lots of planning and a good idea of funds. Plus someone who speaks foreign ;)

Did a bit of France and Belgium this Sunday gone, Their roads are awesome!! £40 quid return on the channel tunnel and 30 mins later you are cruising the smooth tarmac the other side! well worth the trip!

Re: The Next GM Trip
 

Ok, one rule: the further we go, the more certain we have to be of quality routes!

Re: The Next GM Trip
 

finding them is far better and more rewarding. Simply avoid larger main roads and take the B roads!

Re: The Next GM Trip
 

We couldn't even work out how to get back across the Thames from the AR, even though we had a Sat Nav?

I think following a road plan is a bit beyond us :confused:
