Myself and a good mate that I have travelled with for years, decided this year we fancied trail riding somewhere for a couple of weeks. We originally thought of the Pyrenees on the Spanish side. The plan was to sling the bikes in the back of my van, drive down, unload with tents etc on the back of the bikes and bugger off for a week or so.
We've since decided that it is going to be just too hot at this time of year that far south (my mate is a teacher so is tied to certain times re. holidays).
The latest thought is to stick the bikes in the van and try oop north somewhere, and or Wales. (I wondered about Scotland and searched on internet and concluded it is a bit of a non starter regarding motorised vehicles off road).
So, to get to the point, could anybody please recommend good areas/routes to try (preferably reasonably remote). The bikes we have are Drz400s and DR350. Standard pipes and no race numbers or other assorted silliness.
I appreciate that nobody is going to want to give out details of little known routes etc for obvious reasons. I am new to trail riding but joined the TRF last night. My mate is more experienced trailing than myself. Neither of us are into heroics or acting like idiots (at least not when it would impact on others).
Any help/advice most gratefully received.
