If you had ...

[Bearbonesnorm]

A couple of weeks, your bike and kit but no car and 'had' to stay within the UK, what would you do?

[mountainposture]

Set off and see where I got to.

[mountainposture]

Preferably in a bit of the country I didn’t know that well.

[Ray Young]

Go bothy bagging, .

[middleagedmadness]

If it's cycling from home ,I've got the peaks or most places in Wales I can get to in a day for the peaks or 2 days bimbling to get to Wales ,a week riding around and nobbing about then bimble home ,if we include trains , probably upto kielder and over the border ,to be honest there is a chance of getting upto the dales and back but not sure how much time I'd have to explore once there

[pistonbroke]

Not prying, don't answer if it involves deportation orders, why is it compulsory to stay in the UK?
What time of year are you talking about?
I'd jump on a cheap flight to somewhere where getting all 4 seasons in one day isn't the norm.
There's a bed here that's unoccupied atm

[middleagedmadness]

Duncan I hope your not reading too much into Stu's recent threads about gay bars and swingers camping by offering up a place in the bed

[giryan]

Go north.
I did the bottom bit of the Pennine Bridleway a couple of years ago but would like to do the rest of it. So I'd ride from home to the start of it and then carry on to Scotland :)

[psling]

Probably jump on the train with my walking boots and walk the Pembrokeshire Coast Path

[PaulB2]

I'd probably try and do some form of loop via the peak district, yorkshire dales and, if time, the lake district. If I could use a train, I'd head up to ambleside and then amble around the lakes and dales.

[Scud]

Up to Scotland and ride best parts of the Central Belter and Wild About Argyll routes?

[Dave Barter]

Variation of EWE removing all the poor show bits

[jay91]

To See how far north I could get

[benp1]

I'd get up to Scotland
- general exploring of mountainy areas
- NW highlands
- island hopping
- bothy bagging

[RIP]

'cheap flight to somewhere' - my worst (*) nightmare, sorry PB

(*) apart from rap 'music' obviously. And prunes.

PS. Oh alright, to answer the question, not entirely original but train to Mach and see what happens. Don't tinker with a winning formula.

PPS. And not having all four seasons in one day is my fourth-worst nightmare .

[psling]

(*) apart from rap 'music' obviously. And prunes.

I like your consistency Reg. Even without prunes....

[RIP]

Having rap 'music' inflicted on me while being force-fed prunes at the same time..... shudder....

[pistonbroke]

Shall l put you down as a "possible" for next year's Spanish C2C then Reg?

[SeannyD]

Out the door turn right and see how far round the coastline of Sotland I could get preferably off-road.

[RIP]

PB - . Vive la difference. Makes this place interesting.

[voodoo_simon]

Island hopping in Scotland?

Take the fat bike (I assume you still have it) and take in some of those glorious looking beaches...

[chris n]

Ride across the bridge into Wales and head north-ish and west-ish until I run out of castles to look at.

[TheBrownDog]

Can I take a train? Yes? Great, thanks. As above, island hopping in Scotland. One day .... sigh

[summittoppler]

As I live on the notth Wales coast, I'd do a loop of the Irish sea. So across the border up through the Lakes, through tother border and make the most of Galloway. Then ferry to Northern Ireland and make a long way to Dublin for the ferry back to holyhead.
Or
Just go over to Ireland for a bimble, oops not the uk though.....

[fatbikephil]

Done this few times although generally only for 4-8 days so far. So for a fortnight it would be up to the Cairngorms, wander round there for a bit, call in at my pals place at Speyside for a couple of days, head west to somewhere I can get a boat to the western isles, spend some beach time, boat back to Oban, then a couple of days home via various forest and estate tracks. All doable off road and (mainly) back roads from my front door

You know, I think I might just do this this year
