    M4 for as far as you can. If this side of the Severn bridge do Chedder/Burrington Coombe and the surrounding area. If Sheep shagging side do Monmouth, Abergevenny etc.

    Nth Norfolk is good ride and not too far from where you are, some great roads in the Nth Essex/Suffolk/Norfolk area en route, take the coast road from Cromer to Hunstanton. This side of Norfolk is quiet this time of year. Good local/beer and cheap 'digs' for a couple of nights

    Just don't ask Jimbo, Sam.

    His idea of an overnighter is Reykjavik.

    Good couple of days that would be too!!!

    Often do lands end over two days, via 272 from tonbridge wells way onwards right through to winchester, then Salisbury, cheddar gorge, minehead and a lynmouth then the a39 down.

    Come back via dart more new forest and 272. But that's a proper full on couple of days.

    If you don't have that much time. The Norfolk option would be my next choice ;)

    day 1 - from dartford as assume youde be coming over crossing :
