Reply To: A brief winter holiday break in Berwick-upon-Tweed, Scottish Borders
Thanks Marcel. The Scottish Borders plus Dumfries and Galloway (just over from Carlisle) have some excellent, usually very quiet roads, ideal for two-wheeled riders, definitely worth a visit. North Northumberland (far-north of Tyneside) too is also very similar with quiet and often deserted roads and attractive scenery. I sometimes look for a cheap ‘Travelodge’ deal – Sunday bookings are often very cheap throughout the U.K – then go exploring through Sunday and Monday, as I’m getting too old now for extended day trips!
I do enjoy my SYM Joyride, it is just so very dependable, easy and relaxing to ride, whether going on a longer trip or just popping to the local supermarket, and despite being just 200cc, is happy doing 55-60mph all day and never feels rough or stressed.
Enjoy your rides!
