    Second of the annual weekend bike trip is upon us and we're looking for
    somewhere to go

    Leaving Friday to get to 'wherever' ?
    Chosing to either drop gear at B&B and spend Saturday with baggage free
    bikes returning to same B&B
    or use the day to get from point A to Point B, going home Sunday.

    6 bikes travelling from Grantham, Lincs, 3 from Guildford Surrey so location
    cant really be Scotland in a weekend.

    We've done North Wales to death and cameras and hidden plod has spoilt it
    somewhat
    Minehead was this years earlier trip so cant really repeat that again so
    soon
    Witby, Scarborough has been done previously and does't light our fires
    Tenby to Llandudno done twice although staying in South Wales area is a
    possibility

    Any ideas for a good long weekend ?

    Many thanks

    Normandy beaches - interesting and the Calvados not too shabby either.

    Leave baggage in Grantham and spend all weekend bimbling around:-

    A52, A64, A606, A47, A16, A15 A52 loop.
    The B6047 and A607 are worth rides.
    As is the run up to Skeggy (but don't stop there) and back via
    Horncastle or Louth, Lincoln.

    .... and I'm struggling to think if there's a camera on any of the
    stretches I've mentioned, leaving you free to concentrate on "style".

    YKIMS.

    run around those parts

    door step LOL

    Mid Wales. Stayed in a pub bunkhouse over Easter at Talybont on Usk. Just
    off the A40 between Crickhowell & Brecon.
    Ideal base for bimbling around the Brecon Beacons.
