good thinking nick...I know what you mean about the lack of biking weather in the coming months!
I have toured Europe a lot in the cage with family and whilst it is tempting, it really is a slog from Yorkshire to the channel then a long day down to Austria or Switzerland. for that reason I tend to keep the bike in this country, with the Scottish hills only a few hours away, as is wales, and the lake district about two hours away I could think I was spoilt for choice. I also have the Yorkshire moors and dales in very close proximity.
I also enjoy a few days in cornwall/devon area and am fortunate that I can go last minute when the weather is looking good for a few days. lets face it, for biking and camping the weather makes it or breaks it! I will try and head in that direction at least once next year but that is a full days ride off the motorways from here.
whatever we do I know we will enjoy.....good to have something to think about on the winter evenings!
