So, come on let us know - if you had two or three days of riding in the UK, where would you head for? 7stanes Scotland, Afan in Wales, the Peak District etc?

    Lake District, for deffo. Best natural riding there is and if you stay away from the tourist centres you can't go wrong!

    I would do the cross lakes challenge that one of the magazines did a year or so ago... I think it was 80 kms with 6000m of ascent or thereabouts - most of which was pushing/hike a bike!

    I love the way Bamburgh Castle just appears as you cycle down the road, top of a hill, then a bend and this masive castle just appears.

    Add a wonderful seafood lunch in the pub at Craster and an overnight stay on Lindisfarne, and you have the recipe for a superb couple of days of quiet fun cycling

    The Lakes Have done Helvellyn twice in a month but it would have to be a full circuit of the lakes

    If I had three days devoid of interruption, I'd do the West Highland Way, with a couple of nights in Kinlochleven so I could get around the Blackwater descent.

    Alternatively, I'd like to do an overnight on Knoydart.

    If you'll stretch the point to four days, got it planned already. Scottish Coast-to-Coast, in May!

    I'd have to say the Lakes I can then satisfy both my hobbies.

    Riding the bike to keep my body fit and photography to keep my brain fit.
    Now where's that "Get Out of Crash Free Card"
