    With loads of mates packing panniers and heading off on their biking holidays was wondering what trip/s you were planning?
    Had a great week away in Scotland, but need something to look forward to, perhaps next year a big trip could be on the cards as a 50th birthday present to myself :biggrin:

    Something I have always fancied is riding the country on the coast all the way around. Would be fairly easy to organise if you did it over a couple of weeks.

    Coming over to the UK end of august, John O`Groats and Lands End are the two main destinations, other wise we will stop where we want.

    Actually Bry, Im hoping to have a couple of days riding in/around Wales. There are several roads that I would like to ride.

    The Horseshoe Pass, A542, north Wales. I seem to remember the A44 being good, plus soom parts of the A483. Been quite a few years since Ive been in Wales but I do have very good memories :biggrin:

    I have a good friend who lives in Crewe, the plan at the moment, is to ride out from there.

    So with a bit of luck we will have time for a beer or 2.

    Horseshoe pass is OK but short. 483 is excellent. My best mate (and the fastest fucker I know) lives in Crewe so maybe we could do something. However, I'm going to Italy at the very end of August so we'll see.

    No comments on 'fastest fucker' - I mean quick on his bike. Just sayin' in case....
