Staycation - buying British and bike trips at home supporting the British Tourist industry

With the drop in the pound and the cost of a Euro trip going up by 10-20% post Brexit Vote I will be staying home next year

Never been to the Western Isles or Shetlands so may do that instead
We buy things we don't need



With money we don't have



To impress people we don't even like

I'm starting the year off with the obligatory winter trip which is currently being discussed by the usual suspects so we can decide where to go. It's either going to be the Elefant, Augustusburg or a raid on Poland where we burn trees, cook meat and drink beer for a long weekend at a place to be decided when we arrive.

Off to France (can't remember where but it's near Caen) for the early May bank holiday.

Probably another trip to either the Balkans or Romania/Bulgaria in June.

Watching classic racing at Spa and Chimay in July.

At least one MotoGP round over the summer and probably more.

Nothing in the UK because there's nothing here that can't be improved on within a days ride of Calais or the Hook of Holland.

The British tourist industry is a rip off compared to anything similar in Europe. Hotels are more expensive, fuel is more expensive, dining out is more expensive, in fact everything is more expensive and it won't get cheaper just because we've voted to leave the EU.

I've just signed my renewed contract to be the Horizons Unlimited Event Partner for their HUMM event at the end of May - and that also means more surveying which will have to happen in March.

Then I have two HISS events, the v1 or 'original' in the Pyrenees and the 'Challenge' in the mountains of Teruel running back-to-back in June.

Then in September another modified HISS, called 'Big Tread', which is aimed specifically for boys with big toys, also in Teruel but covering a huge areas and includes fantastic road sections as well as selected, not-too-technical and especially long trails.

Somewhere amongst all that I'm revisiting a lot of trails in the Pyrenees and maybe writing these up in book format. And then another road trip around Spain, filling in the few corners of the country I haven't been to yet ...

@ Johnny Boxer - don't worry about the UK tourism industry, with the weak Pound you'll be lucky to find a place by the swimming pool (thumbs)

Doing my first foreign bike trip, 3 x weeks in May, Roscoff and then bimbling down the Western coast of France exploring all the seaside villages, then across to see my oldest friend near Carcassone for a few days and then travelling back up through the middle of France via Millau etc.

Will be spending the Winter buying all sorts of useless tat, route planning and getting the Versys prepped, can't wait

Good idea for a thread dude (thumbs)

I've got three ideas for next year of which I'll hopefully do two:

Fly hire to Athens and tour the ancient sites on a little 250.

Ride across the Pyrenees with some of the guys I met at HISS last year.

Hop across the channel and ride to the Black Forest, eat cake and ham and drink beer.


I did Scotland and Wales and Spain this year so I'm thinking some new places. Also I might treat myself to a big GS as I'm enjoying roads these days.
And now, Harry, let us step out into the night and pursue that flighty temptress, adventure.
