I have a bit of leave to use, and fancy a few days away riding somewhere. I'm thinking somewhere coastal, probably camping along the way. Don't mind if its roads/cycles routes/bridleways/trails etc or a mixture.
Anyone have any itinerary ideas?
Devon? Dartmoor, Exmoor and the Quantocks..
Not done it myself, but formulating a plan 😉

Not coastal, well not until the end but you could attempt to ride the whole of the south downs way? You could stop at around 40 miles and have a play on the new red route at QE country park.
Sarn Helen if you want to get a move on. If you're not too bothered about being near the coast, The Pennine Bridleway from Middleton Top to as far as you can or want to get.
I don't know if you're within reach of northern Scotland but if you are I highly recommend this

All great, thanks. I may well be tempted away from the coast by some of them.
Letus know which you choose and how it went. I am planning to do the south downs this year if I can regain some fitness but I want to do it all in one 🙂
imnotamused - how suitable would that trip be for a CX bike as opposed to MTB ?
A cx bike would be fine, a bit bumpy as its a rocky quad bike track but I guess that comes with the territory of a cx bike wherever you go!
The Trans Cambrian is very tempting - I live in mid Wales at the moment but I think exploring it would be quite nice. At the moment, it is a toss up between that and Devon coast to coast.
Unfortunately northern Scotland would be a bit far for a few days but if I enjoy myself this time around I will give it a go next year.
