Why not try the Round Britain Rally at the same time if you're going up there?
http://www.roundbritainrally.co.uk/index1.htm
Non competitive, runs from April 1st to October 31st each year.
90 landmarks to find from simple clues given - Do it for fun, or do it for charity, do as many or as few as you like.
I've been doing it for 5 years now - always got somewhere interesting to go.
You know the story, nice bike, nice day, where will I go then? 
The RBR is better than sticking a pin in a map and it gives you some sense of purpose to your ride.
How many times have you been over and over the same old route again and again. 
The RBR send you to places we'd mostly otherwise by pass / miss.
But beware, it's addictive.
