Change of scenery was created by Justin
Just sounding people out.

When I was in Norwood Paragon we would have a weekend in late Feb early March in Wiltshire. Two days riding, staying at a B&B.

Anyone fancy something similar to get away from the usual club run routes? To keep costs down I'm suggesting leave ealry Saturday morning. Drive up to say 4 hours (could get to Cumbria/north Wales/Dartmoor) ride for the afternoon.B&B overnight. Ride Sunday. Drive home.

I can throw 8 people with bikes and kit in my van (will need to get bike racks). Can easily get 6 people in with kit and bikes (no rack). We can take a stove and kettle for hot drinks and snacks.

B&B should be about £50. Petrol £20 - £30 per person.

If its a success, we can do it in summer and camp!

I would be interested in somewhere different.

me too. The route could be split in two - the top loop on Saturday and the bottom loop on Sunday, to fit with Justin's original time frame. B&B mear Michaelston Forrest and use that as a base for cars and our start and finish point on both days??
