Touring UK Trip - August

I started looking into doing this then thought when am I going to get the time during summer! Maybe one for when I retire, if I can still ride bikes at 95
It's worth booking accommodation early as it's going to be a busy time. Pay a bit extra so you can cancel if you make changes to your trip at a later date. Join the reward scheme of major brands some give a saving like ibis and holiday inn. Always handy for over nighters

 

That's a shame cos going by the Politics thread Mr.O is planning to declare Independence so then you'll need to carry your passport as well as a phrase book.

Otherwise sounds like a cracking idea I might pinch for myself and my tent.

 

sounds good ,look forward to the pics,I've never thought about doing that, it will be interesting to hear how you get on

 

How long have you planned for it to take?

 

You'll have to let us know when you're going to be around the Norfolk/Suffolk coast. A couple or four of us from Bedford will be taking some ride outs that way in the sunshine and will happily interpret the local lingo for you.

 

Hull - UK City of Culture 2017 - well worth a visit (Premier Inn just past The Deep).
Beverley, Bridlington, Flamborough Head (excellent café/restaurant close to the lighthouse), Scarborough (obligatory lap of Olivers' Mount required), Robin Hoods Bay, Whitby (obligatory fish and chips) plus North Yorks Moors Railway.
You will need a week, or more, in God's Own Country (Yorkshire of course - do I really have to spell it out??), once you've crossed the Humber Bridge.
The above is just the thin end of a VERY BIG wedge.

 

Treat your trip as a recce mission and see where you would like to return to next time. You should end up with a list as long as your arm(s) which will keep you entertained for ages.
And when you've tired of that lot, you have Scotland, Ireland and the near continent (and beyond) to have a go at.
You really don't have time for work!!!

 

The route looks very interesting I might 'tag on' on the 'Northern' parts if I'm around at the time and not bombing of to do the 'Alps' again.

 

South of the Humber bridge cos it's a free ride over!

 

Bloody (good) Yorkshireman!! Owt for nowt!!

I think I can feel a convoy coming on. But knowing my luck ..... .

 

You joining us 'Goolie'?
