But thanks dude !

Have a look in the top left of the screen, under the logo and click on private messages. There will be a menu on the left and one of the menus on the left will be Private Messages. Click on send new message and type the name Luckypants in the to field. You will see a little drop down menu, if you just click on Luckypants, it will autofill and then just click behind the semicolon and do the same for Badger.

Neither have ever failed to be anything other than amazingly lovely and helpful, so go for it...they will give you nothing but good advice.

Hope that helps

Luckypants is away at the moment.

As for North Wales it depends how many miles you can endure as a pillion if it's a day trip You've got about 120 miles of boring roads getting there and back but happy to suggest roads and a route though.

Alternatively you're spoiled for choice with campsites in and around Snowdonia. Unfortunately can't recommend any as it's on my doorstep and never camped out that way, but if you base yourself around Bala then you've endless good routes to choose from throughout North and Mid Wales (again depending on mileages you'd want to cover in a day).

Thanks to both of you anyway

Yeah, well we covered 330 miles last weekend and yes my bum was killing but it was all worth it, I guess stopping off every so often isn't so bad. Roughly it'll take us an hour to get to Northern Wales (50+) miles so it's not HAT bad. We just want to find a nice place to camp (rough camping as we will be allowed a campfire) we've never been up Wales on the bike so we're hesitant where to go

Bolton to the GMV run (it's in SW Scotland this year) will take you less than 3 hours each way including fuel and loo stops. That's easy, see you's there!

It doesn't seem that bad then, think its worth staying over their for the night? My bum gets the ache of doom!

do a different area each time. Best to plan to head somewhere and spend the days exploring the area for nice roads that's my plan later on in the year!

Yeah, I agree with you on that one!

We're just not sure which roads are best to take because let's face it if the journey is more than 50% of motorway it kinda' kills the whole ride out - I fall asleep on the motorway!

if you like rough camping then i know just the place. you could make a long weekend of it by staying at keilder then onto tummel and back down to st marys then home and i can guarantee you will love it. only one night staying completely rough though.

I'd say so, aye - its cheap enough at the GAC we're booked into, esp if you're camping. Plus, you'd have the option of a nice windy run home on the Sunday too...
