Thank you lots and lots for the help (and laughs!!!:yo: ) Might try scotland, just an awful long way from Cider country! But the bacon butty sounds good :} I kind of thought the Holyhead Dublin looked good, but wasn't sure. Will be in contact Centaur if I go that way.
Freebird - I'd love to go back to the NW200 (only been once but without the bike!), but as I leave for the TT the following friday I don't think I can afford it - and the TT has been booked for a year (again!!! Its now my 'summer' holiday!!:yo: ) - so UGP it is!! But I will look at Stranraer, it's just the thought of driving all the way to Scotland putting me off - I'm going on my own, so apart from police (although I'll try not to speed!!!) it'll be a bit lonely for a long drive!!!!!
