Worthing?



How about Sittingbourne, you can spend the fortnight fixing all/some of the bits on my bike you keep kindly pointing out.  You can camp in my garden for free, I'll even make you a tea and bacon sandwich in the morning........

 :lol      not planning on  going east, near or far....... :lol

Leaving shortly and Iam heading north, not sure where but hope to do at least 250/300 miles today,which should get me somewhere near the yorkshire dales, or there abouts........really want to get a bit further today, but thats probably about my limit before the old body starts to complain, going to jump on the motorway for the first 100/150 just to eat the miles, stop for a late breakfast and then find some decent roads   :)

no real plans/route but I do have a couple of places I will be visiting.will try to update as I go but relying on wifi so might be a bit intermittent. ?...suggestions welcome....go on nows your chance to tell me where to go   :lol

To all you foccers going to work ...............have a nice day     :pokefun

Probably too late, but get yourself to Settle, go up to Hawes, then Thwaite, Keld, Kirkby Stephen, Brough, Middleton-in-Teesdale, Alston. Great roads. PM incoming. I've used a campsite just on the outskirts of Hawes which was ok; unfortunate it's still school holidays though.

Jumped on the M1 this morning just so I could laugh at everyone going to work.. :lol....managed 150 miles .bored out of my tiny mind  :\....exit 29 took me to chesterfield and a quick look at the twister steeple....didn't want to go anywhere near manchester or sheffield so rode through the peak district, baslow, A623 chapel-en-firth, glossop, holme moss, holmfirth.....got a bit messy then, got tied up in the  traffic around huddersfield/halifax only had a small scale map which didn't show the back roads, got a bigger scale one now  :thumbup.........out to keighley and onto A629 to skipton, gateway to the dales.......where I am now having something to eat before findind a campsite in a small village with a friendly pub..... :)

Great minds mr trimmer....thats the route iam just about to take....

Good pics Red, enjoy the lake district, stick to the back roads avoid the M6. Keep heading north, you'll soon experience the joy that is Dumfries & Galloway. Have fun fella  :)
