A weeks holiday, what to do??

I have a weeks holiday coming up, 15-24th Nov, and am thinking about packing the D3 up and hitting the road and doing a bit of exploring.

Problem is, don't really know where or what to do? Just like the idea of taking in the sights and maybe exploring a few track or routes.

Looking for suggestions from folk as to where I could head to. Thumbs Up

Well head to north Wales...between the 14th-17th the WRC Rally Wales is hitting town... I'm going and taking the G4 as the perfect recce / spectator vehicle..... And will probably be rescuing lesser mortals stuck on the verges in their Focuses and mondeos.....
Should be spectacular this year! Very Happy

Appledore Penninsula. Fantastic and I believe is still classed as a wilderness.

Lake District , North Yorkshire both great places.

Or just fill up and head in whatever direction your facing
Then see where you end up
Your own wee mystery tour

Just enjoy it

West Coast would be my choice. Start by crossing the Clyde to Dunoon and then ferry from Portavadie to Tarbert. After that work your way North, maybe use Calnac Island Hopscotch tickets and take in a few Islands. Just don't look at the price per litter when you fill up!

Having spent the previous week in Devon and Cornwall, and the last week back home in Argyll, I can recommend heading south at this time of year - there is a difference in the weather, and all the usual lanes are very very quiet!

Thanks very much for the replies guys,

@ Farmer Chalk, I like the sound of the rally wales, not been to a rally since Mull last year, that could a good start. I may send you a pm closer to the time to see what your plans are, if you do not mind.

Euangibson, with the kitcar we have an annual pilgrimage to Applecross, usually with a run round to Shieldaig and round the peninsula. However I have not been any further north. So May head over the pass, if it still open, and then could keep falling the coast.

Not been round to portavdie for a while, last night I was round there I got hit on the head by a pheasant at 40mph in the kitcar. We have a caravan at loch sween, Argyll, so have covered a bit of that neck of the woods.

Like the sound of lakes district and Yorkshire, are there may green roads route around? These could be next point if I was to head to north wales for the rally.

As for further south, I don't know a lot about the Deep South.

We are going down for a day in a couple of weeks to do a section, it does look good.

Or get on a plane and go somewhere warm!

Shall have a read through the coast to Coast thread.

Dave, when are you heading down? Are you taking the disco or defender?

Thanks for that Dave, hoping to have the disco built back up today and ready for the road next week, so I could be up for this if everything goes ok and I can get a holiday for that day as well. Hope us wouldn't mind a tag along at the back?
