Default Locations?!

My partner (todsky426) owns an SV and I'm his weekend passenger.

We've started to get a little bit adventurous with journeys on the bike I.E Devils Bridge, Penrith, Lake district but I was just wondering if anybody recommends any places we can go?

We're located at Bolton and we're sick of the everyday senery!
Also we LOVE camping so if there's any good camping spots?

Get over to the north east, the scottish borders. Absolutely marvellous. Only did it the once so cannot give specific places to go. Started off near Kielder, Hawick, St Mary's Loch, Megget reservoir , Moffat

Buy a map and have a look round that area

Thanks!

We was up Penrith last weekend and the scenery was amazing so I can imagine it only gets better in Scotland.

Pop up to the yorkshire dales there's a great road between ingleton and hawes, 40 mins up the M6 and then your pretty much on decent roads! I'm tapping this on my phone at the moment I'll post a route/map up later

Start of with coming up to see us up north on the weekend of the 6th - 8th of July. Look in sv ecosse for details. You get the double bonus of good roads and meeting some lovely people.

Once you've done Scotland once on the bike you'll want to come for a week and see even more.

But bring skin so soft to fight the midges off.

Avon skin so soft....better against midges than any other form of repellent sold anywhere in the world...lol.

Anyhooo, have you thought about getting over to North Wales for a weekend or longer? The roads and scenery are amazing and the road surfaces through Wales are some of the best in the UK with endless beautiful bends

Sounds good to me!

I can imagine it's a sweet drive up to Scotland but it'll be the furthest we will have gone and my **** will be numb as anything - it sucks!
Few stop offs along the way and it should be cool.

We may even stay over for a few days!

We was meant to go up Wales for the day on Sunday but unfortunately we got a puncture! :'(
So we've not had chance to get up there but hopefully this weekend we will do up North Wales!

Is there any particular route thats the best?

Your best bet would be to send a pm to Luckpants or Badger...they will know the best routes
