I have made many trips in the past to he north of UK and more or less know what I am looking for but the problem becomes you get very set in your ways so inspiration from others is always nice to help maybe build something different.
Trip late September, Ferry from Rotterdam to Hull Saturday evening say 20th or 27th September. Return leg Thursday following.
I tend to try and ride between 260 and 300 km per day on mainly A and B roads. No goat tracks or major roads.
The National parks are always lovely especially the North Penines which is a favourite and also the Borders.
Accommodation - preference pubs with rooms preferably in small rural villages. Prices in UK for good pub accommodation has gone a bit nuts recently. I remember when 100 quid a night would do you right but an old favourite in Levisham or Romaldkirk are hitting 200 and even more.
Interested to hear from those that know the area better than me for tips and advice. I usually use the good Pub guide to try and find accomodation.
Group size 2-4 max. ideally 3 for such trips.
Look forward to hearing....
