The A256 moves quickly to broadstairs which contains all the chip shops a biker could desire! An alternative route via the A253 or A255 does have some coastal scenery A5 : Bangor - Betws-y-Coed (United Kingdom) November 13, 2007 Beautiful area, remember it is Mr Brumstroms area so likely to get flashed, unlikely to see police doing anything else! Great new B&B (Vagabond) in Betws-Y-Coed behind the camping clearance shop. Worth booking in peak season. D790 Plouray - Quimperlé (France) June 20, 2007 Use the D790 out of the town to Quimperle. The road is pretty all of the way, the route has plenty of little villages to stop and buy supplies, the journey through the woods is excellent, although watch for cyclists as they favour this route also. Plenty of campsites can be found in Quimperle, the one on the outskirts by the massive supermarket looks bad, but is excellent. N625 : Riaño - Cangas de Onis ( Picos de Europa ) (Spain) June 20, 2007 The visibility does reduce very quickly in the Picos. The oil that comes out of the road when it rains makes things very slippery, go in the summer when it never rains! The mountains are stunning, although they are very cold in the winter when there is ice and snow about in the higher sections D885 / D050 / D915 Trabzon - Erzurum (Turkey) May 25, 2007 This route is through Asiatic Turkey. Starting at Trabzon on the Black Sea, leaving the less than desirable port of Trabzon, head out on the D885 for Erzurum on the D885 toward Gumushane, the route follows main roads, otherwise it gets a bit too much like the Dakar Rally. You travel through stunning mountain scenery and get to see the side of Turkey that you miss in Marmaris. Pick up the D050, then the D915. The mountain passes near Bozurum are stunning. You will eventually get to Askale, near which you pick up the D100 to Erzurum. The route is on fairly broken roads and the local driving would make a kamikaze pilot wince, but if you are brave it is worth it. You can do the full Judith Chalmers thing in Erzurum, eat a proper Turkish kebab, eat the pastries, a good route for potential explorers. Take a map as there are very few English speakers outside of the cities. Petrol stations are quite rare, so fill up when you can. I think the route is around 250km.
