Thankyou all, i will be making a route with all your recommendations in mind, its a slight change of plan now, we are first going to Nefyn in Wales on Sat 25th August to a Party on the beach, staying in a B&B then on Sunday heading to the Lakes to camp for a night & then onto Scotland. my other dilemma is which bike to take? a Kawasaki Z750 or the Tenere? i love them both in different ways but bearing in mind i will be traveling two up with tent & bags, the other bikes im going with is a ZXR750 & XT660R but they are both solo riders. Cheers for all the suggestions Dave
