Ride out suggestions
06. Apr 2011 at 19:54

with the weather looking glorious tomorrow and Friday, I want to take the GS on a run somewhere. Got loads of things to try out such as some custom ear phones, various sat navs for the iPhone while on the go, tarp for camping and such.

I was thinking of going to Cromer across through Norfolk, but a certain banned admin said not to bother as there is sod all there Undecided

Thinking maybe back to North Wales, there is a fantastic campsite there which allows open fires, the roads there are brilliant going through Stratford upon Avon, over to Long Mynd and into Wales in the Trawsfynydd area, as I know thats stunning:

I'm going to camp as I think the weather is nice enough, beer jacket should keep me warm plus the fire....

But also thinking of other places, maybe Yorkshire Dales? Undecided

Going from Brackley, Northants not London. Suggestions welcome Thumbs Up!

Do you break V6's as often as TheBoy? Then you need tunnie's towing services, recovery costs are just the humiliation of being towed by 2/3's of an engine
