One year later and I am still trading on the memories and dreams of our trip to Canada and the Appalachians last summer 2009. I now realise why I still work - it's for the journeys made possible by the pay cheque!

This summer holiday is going to be a low budget domestic affair - vehicles to service, divorce to complete, jobs and property to find. However with an unusually hot summer in the UK it's not all bad. Best times for taking a motorcycle ride in the SE England is 7 p.m. onwards when the air is cooler, the roads are clear and the scent of wild honeysuckle and garden bar b q's descends into our narrow country lanes as cool air settles at low level.

For those of you wanting an escape from the routines of daily life, or visitors wanting a taste of the English countryside See enclosed a map of an ideal summer evening run starting from J5 M4 motorway - where it meets the A4 near to Colbrook/Windsor/Heathrow Airport west of London.
