[I was TheBoy]

I have a nice trip to Exeter and back tomorrow 

If that takes you past Brackley, I *still* have some spring compressors here  , although feel marginally less guilty than I did before

[tunnie]

very nice scene there Tunnie.. wish you took the picture a little behind with a wide angle

That was taken with my point and shoot, I do fancy a nice 10-20 wide angle for my SLR, but they are about £300-400

Now thinking of Brecon Beacons, its only 118 miles away....

I think you should be staying in Brackley

I'll be back Thursday night, will be around Friday

Some fantastic roads around the beacons Tunnie, and campsites galore

Slightly off topic Tunnie, but may I suggest for your next biking holiday you consider Lake Como near Milan. I was there recently and it is a stunning place, which has bikes riding around the adjacent roads constantly. The Moto Guzzi factory is nearby, Monza race track is nearby, and the Ducati and Ferrari factories arent far away either. But more importantly, the area is absolutely beautiful.

Only one way to get there, too. Stelvio.

Watch the gravel, though. Bike took my front bumper out by slipping on that when I went.

Whos he then Kevin ? :-/

Tunnie, bin all that and get your Scotland trip together, west coast from Glasgow upwards!

[Chris_H]

Black Mountain is a great pass on a bike, but you've got pots sticking out the side so it won't lean over enough for the hairpins possibly?

Yep, did the run up from Kyle Of Lockalsh, through Ullapool and round the coast, finally chickening out and heading inland at Tongue last year in the Westfield. What a lovely drive. Would be better with the high vantage point on a bike too, as I found there were lots of blind bends.

Although flat, Suffolk and Norfolk do have some pretty areas, though. Constable country is pretty, and has some very nice roads that I used to blat along in my Morris Ital. 

Used to go on my holidays to Southwold when I was a kid.



There's a nice camp site down by the estuary there, IIRC, and Adnams Ale is the local tipple. [smiley=beer.gif] What's not to like?

Adnams is (normally) at it's absolute best in the pub by the Brewery

There's also Woodfordde's Wherry, brewed in Norfolk, which is a very pleasant pint (or more )

I know I'm slightly biased but East Anglia is a beautiful part of the country and forecast to be nice and warm for the weekend

[Kevin Wood]

Ahh, yes, Wherry is not a bad pint either.

In fact, I went to the Norwich beer festival a couple of years ago and was surprised by the number of Anglian brews there which I'd never heard of. <hic!>
