Around UK
Hi All,
I planned to do this trip (infact coast of northern part only) with Lake District.
I didn't have time and money to do that yet. Hope to do that in a few years time.
Definitely a route which have to be done.
Please share your experiences with us as I know the accomodation and prices are very high.
Sami

How about using the Round Britain Rally where you can take small sips to meet the photo evidence requirements over a long period, or perhaps one big hit and base it on the Four Corners of Britain.... Lizard Point, Ardnamurchan, Dunnet Head and Lowestoft Ness?
I have planned it a few times and never done it. Should be good in the right conditions.... maybe not with petrol at over a quid a litre!
Youth hostels are good places to stay have alook at UK Youth Hostel Association (YHA), Budget Accommodation & Adventure Activities - YHA or Scotland Hostels - Youth Hostels in Scotland, Backpacking Europe

Youth hotels / backpacker are good .. cheap if you are by yourself .. can be cheaper than camping .. For two B&Bs can be cheaper again..
----- I find the smaller hostells can be in some nice places that you'd other wise not go to .. at the bigger ones you don't get as much interaction.

Bring your tent and do wild camping. Not easy in England but easy in Scotland. Cook your own food bought in supermarkets. South England is very overcrowded, Birmingham is very very ugly. Sheffield too. Scotland is fantastic if it doesnt rain.

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
