Hi there,
I'm thinking of a mini-mini-expedition around the UK.
I'm in Hereford so will be setting off from here, and I'm thinking of either going doing a big loop around the coast of Wales over 5 days, or driving up to North Wales, and then across to North Yorkshire, and then back home in a sort of upside down triangle shape, over 5 days.
However I'm open to ideas, and other routes/ places to go?
The plan is to do a mixture of wild camping and a night or two in B&Bs, and sort of meander through the scenery taking in only B roads where possible and enjoying the journey as much as the destinations. Potentially doing around 150 miles per day?
The likelihood is I'll be doing it in my series,
My questions are two fold;
1. What would you suggest taking with me in terms of spares for the series? and also cheap accessories/ alterations for the wagon? (I've seen people add bookshelfs, portable DVD players, and allsort of stuff to the cab for overlanding, but is there anything worthwhile doing for a week long trip?
2. Any suggestions on routes to do/ places to visit? (I'd quite like to visit the heartbeat set, and spend a night or two in Snowdonia as I love it).
I'm open to new suggestions of places to go. It's my girlfriend and I who are going. My old man suggested we do a similar route that he and my mum did a few years ago, all over Scotland in their RRC, however my girlfriend thinks that might be a bit far to go for just a week, and knowing her, she'll be bored just following roads and spending a week "just driving around".
Has anyone done this sort of thing before?
