SWB Weekender

Who's up for a weekend away on their bike?
I'm looking at maybe doing a Friday afternoon/return Sunday kind of thing, B&B at either a pub or within walking distance of drinkie/foodie establishment!
Norfolk and Shropshire are two suggestions so far...
Dates free ATM are
19th - 21st April
17th - 19th May
28th - 30th June
Hopefully avoiding school hols etc...
The idea is to get to B&B/pub on the Friday in time for food/beers...next day a rideout around the area, lunch somewhere, return to pub for more food/beers

then ride back on the Sunday

With a bit of planning you can keep off the motorways as much as possible if prefered and time allows
Can people post up if they are interested and ideally what date is prefered?
Thoughts please!

Hmmm, interesting.
The only thing possibly in my way could be revision or an assignment due in. Oh and cash monies. I carnt afford fancy pants stuff at the moment. A B&B and ride out would be great but if fancy upgrades were added I'd probably have to decline.

Totally understand Dan...I'm not looking at 5* places, I think fuel would probably be your biggest cost.

Shropshire would be easiest and less distance for most? And, having done a weekend there before I already have a rideout route!
Any ideas/suggestions welcomed btw...!

This is a good base for Shrops meet...reasonable and varied accommodation too, I've stayed here before and the food was pretty good too

Love the way the Landlord keeps with 'tradition' with the after hours bar for guests!
A ride to include a visit to Ironbridge....?
