Details here.......

will aim to be there.

unsure yet of accommodation plans

I've got to work that Saturday morning so if I can make it it's going to be on the day or late Saturday.

I'm going to sit down with a map (OK, huddle in a cold-riddled sniffing heap on the floor with a blanket and a map) this afternoon and take a look at how to get there n stuff. Along with planning a little jaunt to Cromarty in Scotland later this summer too.

Depending on how good/bad my arrival route maybe will depend on whether I camp or make it a mega-ride-out for myself and do the whole lot on the Sunday!

Getting there is a breeze from Northampton.

Take the A43 to the M40 (J10), B430 to Middleton Stoney, pick up B4030 to Enstone. Turn South East on the A44 for a short run then turn right onto the B4022 and take that all the way to Charlbury. Then pick up the B4437 until it meets the A361 and follow that into Burford.

About 50 miles and I reckoon you can do it in just over the hour. Once you're off the A43 the roads are great.

I'll more than likely be travelling there on the sunday from Banbury which is kind of on the route (J10 M40) so if you want to, we can hook up for the final run into Burford. Quite a nice cross country blast of about 20 miles or so if my map reading skills are in order.

Will.

I shall be going from Stevenage on the Sunday morning via Luton, Dunstable, Aylesbury, Bicester and Oxford - about 70 or so miles if anyone cares.

Cool, sounds like a full-on Sunday run is in order then.

Now I have looked at a map it is a breeze - my knowledge of geography is crap, I kind of navigate by a combination of Zen and the homing sense of a pigeon.

This basically means I can't find my way around the town in which I live, but once I reach a critical distance from my own home I'm OK. I know where I'm going and end up getting there with minimum of fuss... just don't ask me how. If attempting to describe any route I have ever taken,all you'll get are some vague references to interesting trees, buildings (mostly pubs) and possibly a town name if you're really lucky.

I shall now be going to Scotland for a week in late June/early July having just sat and planned it.
Such planning consists of:

• York
  Edinburgh
  Aberdeen
  Cromarty
  Fort William
  Glasgow
  Carlise
  Sheffield

That's it. What happens in between those places I have no idea... and probably would n't be able to tell you when I get back... but I'll have lots of pretty pictures!

I have got my leave booked and confirmed now for this weekend...eventually...so i have bike will travel....

the only thing, i have not the foggiest idea where i am going to stay/camp...i see a small oversight in my plan

The main problem about camping is the lack of small camping equipment...it was not designed to be carried on a bike...and with staying in a lodge etc its about £50 for the night isnt it....i suppose i will have to do some research.
