and what is wrong with the south? closer to the alps and continental riding, close enough to wales and scotland, enough good riding if you look hard enough.
and when you do get away for a weekend or week for some riding you appreciate it more.
Walkerburn and Innerleithen have some very cheap houses. Although Walkerburn is a bit of a toilet, Innerleithen moderately better but reasons why it has cheap houses ! Some good riding about the way and commutable to Edinburgh, where houses are very not cheap.
You still haven't said why you're moving, CG.
Think about it; you're currently in a decent location. Quiet, handy for amenities, close to good trails, close to That London for shopping, nights out, gigs and that. Good for getting about all over the South for rides, and not too far from Wales. Close to Heathrow and Gatwick. Better weather, slightly warmer than oop North, and good beer. Yes, other areas have their benefits, but also their drawbacks. I find North Wales beautiful and the riding's great, but there's bugger all of cultural interest there for me. It's about weighing up the pros and cons, innit?
and what is wrong with the south?
It's too busy.
and not too far from Wales
Or to put it another way, Wales is not too far from the South East 🙂
Went to the Peak District recently and what a stunning place. Only problem is that it is so far from the sea. Every village we went through I thought I could live in.
I lived in Wales for a number of years and absolutely love it. People are just so much more friendly than the english. Recently headed over to the area around Brechfa and thought that was a lovely place to live.
Weather wise Wales is cool, just rains a little bit more than the southwest but not that much.
Anyone said France yet?
Oui, bien sure.Where can I buy a cheap house with a garage, not in a town and no need of a railway station?
