sounds awesome,what are you estimating the cost of the trip to be mate

[Wicky]

A sorely bottom testing adventure - How many miles / tankfuls do you reckon?

If you need a pitstop in Colchester pm me for contact details.

[lloydie]

Sound like a pain in the butt to me lol
£2000 for fuel if you do it on the storm

[ChrisC]

Hey Image,just a thought..Day one..Fleetwood..Southport..Blackpool..Liverpool ,...you sure you know thats the best route.....Day one and going the wrong way already... ......O K...it's a typo sorry couldn't resist it lol

Fuel approx £175. THEN £11D0 FOR CAMPSITES. AND B&B. SOZ FOR TYPE, MY BIG FAT FINGERD ON BLACKBERRY LOL

brilliant !, just tell your missus your popping out to get a pint of milk and some fags on day one, should be no problem.

on the yarmouth to kings lynn leg , if time allows pop up to cromer and do the north norfolk rd to hunstanton, its very pretty. if its a sunday (i think) there may well be about 200 bikers at hunstanton.

I'llo take you upo on that Wicky

Also ferry prices, N Ireland, Isle of Man etc.
Hoping to cut down on the price of b&b by seeoing if a few mates around the country will put me up.
If accounted as a holiday it's quite cheap
One of those things I've always wanted to do! Will be some awesome nights out in towns I've never been out in before

[Styler4077]

Go for it.
I'll ride with round east Anglian route with of you want company?
And def take the Sherringham to Hunstanton as lumpyv suggested. Great road

Sherringham to Hunstanton. Noted

[macphray]

Hi day nine will be great if the sun is out ,great scenery ,but some sh1t rds ,great beaches ,plenty of pubs .

[KarlosVTR]

I'll add that from caister to kings Lynn is a belting ride. North Norfolk is beautiful. Yarmouth is a total dump beyond compare.

Sounds like an awesome trip pal. Good luck with it

I would love to do that, me and the Mrs were considering doing this on the FJR a couple of years ago, we did lejog for a taster, brilliant.
I think your allowance for fuel is a bit light, at current fuel costs and your steed does 50mpg that'll get you about 1400 miles,that'll be just over half way.
Good luck, very envious.
