I wonder if this has anything to do with the strength of the £. Might seem daft, but from experience it is now cheaper to go touring around the UK than to go to France/Germany/Spain etc. Consequently there are likely to be more bikers heading for the Yorkshire, Borders and Cumbia area. We've been on 5 weekends in the uk this year compared to just 2 last year, and many people we talk to are doing the same as both petrol and accomodation works out cheaper here now... |
