    A chippy
    Campsite
    Cornwall is a good choice as we have done Scotland, Wales, N Yorks and the south is probably the next obvious place to go - Princetown is good our of the holiday season

    This is really difficult. I'd love to see you all in the south west being my home ground, but equally I'd love to see some more of Scotland. I loved it so much when we were there.

    I think on balance to even things up I'm going to say somewhere in Scotland, and that's because I want to see all my Scottish buddies who may not make it down to Cornwall possibly?
    Forum help and advice needed?

    Needs to be somewhere where there are enough local bods to organise 2 or 3 rideouts, do any reconaisance, smooth the way with the campsite proprietors etc.

    Also needs to be somewhere with a remote feel, but near enough to a pub, shop, or off licence that the whole things isn't too isolated.

    Dartmoor would get my vote. So would Scotland - Trossachs/Loch Lomond or West Coast. I enjoyed a rideout to the Southern Uplands earlier this year, can't remember where we met ( a good biker type cafe) but the run via Eskadalemuir was brill, so that would be Ok too.

    Dartmoor would be first choice but there is also Scotland (I really like Glencoe / Isle of skye) we have done most of Wales but Mr M knows all of the really really good roads if Wales is in the running.


    Am I allowed more than one as I am not allowed anywhere cause to be honest I don't care where as long as it is a good as last year

    Sharribee Isle of Skye sounds a good idea, its a few years since ive been up there.

    Scotland for me. How about the Red Squirrel site in Glencoe?

    Too many speed cameras in the South West.

    Chad if you want to set up a poll, if there are suggestions which are not part of the poll these can be added by a moderator later on. I am happy to keep an eye on the thread to make sure this is done if you like.

    Hmmmmmm.....definitely looks like a poll is in order

    Plume of Feathers - my old stomping ground, great scenery, great roads, great facilities.

    West Coast of Scotland - I reckon this region is one of Britain's best kept secrets - awesome landscapes, great roads - this would be my choice.

    And to throw a curveball...........how about the possibilty of somewhere in Brittany, I'm sure Jaqueslemac would be able to make some suggestions.
