you could try the norfolk coast as there are twitchers about from titchwell southwards ,rspb sites aplenty and the further south you go the worse the signal gets ,do not go north to costa del hunstanton but head to sheringham and beyond..i know the phone signal is bad as my boss can never get hold of me when i am in that area and head inland slightly and there are many rural walks around....stay clear of kings lynn as that is awful...i should know as i live just outside of it...

Don't get much more off the beaten track than these, don't think they even have electric.

Just head in the opposite direction to everybody else, then you find places like this.

[Chrissie]

Have you chosen anywhere yet Flynt?

[flynt]

No firm decision where yet but inclined to head down Devon/Cornwall way...we don't pay too much heed to weather forecasts but reckoning if the wet predictions are relatively accurate then if we head down that way and it rains at least it will be slightly warmer rain...

Towards end of May is likely time scale...given up on looking at Cottages etc...the ones we thought might be ok were all booked...soooooo it's the tent as per normal...not a problem though...we use it at all the bike rallies anyway...and at least with the tent we can pack up and move around after a while if we want to...

There are a few Military & Aircraft visitor centres down south that we would like to visit too so might meander around the south too.

Thank's to all who added links and info...must admit if we had the address of that lovely wooden shack DD posted the pic of...we'd be there like a shot...lol

Ooo, Bovington Tank museum is absolutely brilliant, if you like that sort of thing (and I do ), wear stout boots and look aware and you might be picked to be in the display as I was, you get to wear a helmet, have a rifle, (pretend) shoot at a tank and be driven round in a APC. LOL, can you tell I enjoyed it

UKcampsite in case you don't know of it btw, for picking campsites They get very booked up in high season, you might not be able to move around as much as you like, or you may be very limited where you can go (and the greatness of the site).

Bovy, used to live there, 4 higher wood takes me back a bit. flynt we went devon and cornwall a few years ago for our summer hols july august time camping as well, persisted it down non stop lol, not the best hol we have ever been on. We are off up Scotland this weeekend B+B where if it rains, sorry when it rains at least it's atmospheric Glencoe Lol. If it's forcast fair will go on the bike, if not car, top up though.

There's no IF in Scotland Blue...it just rains...Glencoe is indeed very atmospheric and also frequently wet & misty...adds to the atmos...spent much of my childhood hols over that way and west coast...dragged screaming and fighting by the mother on a yearly basis...mountains/rocks and waterfalls are not that fascinating to a kid...seen one seen em all...lol

What Bike do you have?
we have a Yam 600 divvy and our 800 Suzuki Intruder which we had triked a couple of years ago.

Bovington is VERY high on our list of must visits...like all things military but especially tanks.
Thank's for the info on UKCampsites...will look it up.

With Bovington, when you buy a ticket, you get to go again for free in the year after the date you buy a ticket.
And the advice I was given by a bloke who works there, is go when it's really sunny, as it's less crowded, certainly when I went it was lovely and almost empty. He said they go there when it's raining and to the beach when it's sunny.
Have a nice time!
