My brother in law and I have wanted to do a blast for a while now but never got round to it, so to use up a few holiday days while the Mrs was at work we set off for a few days in wales as its only about an hour and a half away.
I had just received my new carbon fiber fairings on the Wednesday so fitted those and off we went Thursday morning
I picked out a route from online recommendations, which was further backed up by Fast Bikes "best routes" guide
If you get hold of the guide we did all 3 circuits on the map in the two days at a relaxed pace (most of the time) The roads and scenery were brilliant! The total trip wasn't huge, approx just under 600 miles?
We got soaked the first morning but then glorious sunshine thereafter
Altogether a stonking ride and being a thu/friday there was NO traffic :-D and would highly recommend it to anyone!
here's a couple of pics :-)

I will try and copy the route tomorrow if anyone's interested.
