UK TOURS Episode 2 - 'LOST IN SPACE’

Start and finish point Aylesbury, England.

Dates: 08.30 hrs Friday 25th April 2008 to 16.00hrs Monday 28th April 2008.

Four days of riding from Aylesbury to the west, across Gloucestershire, Brecon Beacons & West Wales to Aberystwyth on the Welsh coast. Returning to Aylesbury via the Elan Valley, Herefordshire, Worcestershire, Warwickshire & Oxfordshire.

It is an undulating course through forests & mountains and scenic areas. There are plenty of opportunities for photographs, coffees, souvenirs, etc, along the way. The tour is about riding, having fun and taking in the views. Quick stops only – no spending hours at tourist attractions – let’s get on those twisty biking roads and enjoy the riding experience!



This is not a high speed blast so speed freaks need to join another tour!

Tour in brief:
Day 1. Friday 25th April. From Aylesbury to The Forest of Dean, Gloucestershire. Distance 135 miles (217 kms).
Day 2. Saturday 26th April. From The Forest of Dean to Aberystwyth. Distance 141 miles (227 kms).

The estimated cost of the tour is £260-£300 (370-427 Euros) per person. That’s £140 (199 Euros) for hotels, £60 (85 Euros) for fuel, £60 (85 Euros) for snacks & evening meals, plus drinks!?

***As the start time is 08.30 hrs on Friday 25th April, the estimated cost includes staying in Aylesbury on 24th plus the following three nights. All times, costs, distances are estimated and subject to change due to external factors.

ALL RIDERS WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR BOOKING THEIR OWN HOTEL ROOMS. (As I don’t want to pay for people who fail turn up!) Full details/links will be supplied via e-mail to those seriously considering taking part.

It sounds like a recipe for fun. And don’t forget ~ getting lost is part of the fun! Be ready to laugh a lot!

Hi John!
Again, I'm very sorry for saying that, but currently I'm very low on monetary means.
Additionally, not enough vacation days are left for that.
And last but not least, the children would be unattended - and this may result in buying a new home.

But maybe sometime, I will find my way to England ... hopefully soon!

Looking forward to seeing you in Lichtenau.
Just have seen that this time the sonic wall of four british Bulldogs has been broken - respect!

A good time was had by all
