I hate Uk winter - sloppy muddfest. If I had an option I'd live closer to the beach, south for a bit more daylight/warmth and hopefully have some elevation that drains well.Probably puts me past Bristol (Quantocks/ Exmoor) but never spent much time there.Perhaps when I retire.

ThePilot, funny you say that. We're currently at my mum's in Northumberland building this exact thing from scratch! We're making ourselves an XLWB Ducato camper that we can travel about in.

AnyExcuseToRide, sounds fab! Can I request you build an extra single bed and invite me along for the trip too? 😉

Somewhere near St Jean De Luz probably, for surf between Atlantic blasts. Ah, UK? Whitby and around is nice. Great coast, villages, NY Moors national park, good riding - road, MTB, gravel - not hard to get to cities. Bit of everything really and Yorkshire too...

(Nah. St Jean De Luz...)

For coastline that is also good for / fairly close to good riding I would suggest the far north east of England (north of Bamburgh) and the south east of Scotland (between Edinburgh and the border). As said already though, much as I like Britain it isn't somewhere that I would choose to get away from miserable winters. Gale force wind and rain is the default winter weather condition where I am on the east coast!
