We have two weeks in September to do a tour and we have decided to make the YACF camping weekend near Andover the middle weekend. What started as riding from home in Lancashire to Andover and back via a few campsites and maybe a friend and family visit has taken an interesting new turn this weekend.
I have a niece that lives on the Isle of White and we really do owe her and her family a visit, so the new plan is:
Train from Preston to Wolverhampton to make the whole think feasible at a leisurely pace. Then follow the Severn valley down to Gloucester and stay with the in laws for a night. Down to Lymington and ferry to IOW and two nights with my niece. Then up to Andover for the YACF weekend and then a route still to be determined back to Preston.
Ooh, I love this stage of a tour, when the basic idea gells but all the detail is still to be worked out.
