Without a doubt,it'd be Hope Valley. It's between Manc and Sheff, so employment is good. Easy access to MIA. The riding is great and there is are lots of bike clubs/groups around
If I get one day, just one day, a year where I'm outside in the countryside with warm sunshine, blue skies, twittering skylarks overhead, and that rich, warm scent drifting on the breeze then it keeps me going for a year. I'd wouldn't trade that one day for a million days elsewhere.
Well said. It is amazing how that one day can keep you going for all year!
Spent a couple of months in NZ and sometimes wonder. But it is a long way from anywhere, most jobs seem to be in Auckland and i don't like big cities, and the lack of history. But still wonder sometimes.

Go somewhere like the pyrenees orientale and you can have 360 odd days like that per year, skylarks might have all been eaten by the eagles though.
BC, Canada
Valencia, Spain
Norway fascinates me despite peoples perceptions (only been to Oslo though)
Possibly bay area USA...
Lakes at the drop of a hat if i could find work there.
Also on my list are:
Canada - Toronto(for business) or BC(quite life)
Norway - (not sure if it's good for business with small population)
Thailand - the land of the free despite bombing in the south etc (pity I can't speak or write Thai).
We live+ play in Cumbria, could move to the Dolomites but we like our circumstances now, so holiday there instead. Lived in NZ for a bit. Nice times.
California.
Climate, trails, tech industry, legal weed.
Swaledale.
Another France lover here. I reckon somewhere between Pau, Biarritz and the Spanish border. I like where I live, Surrey, but too many people and more will come.
south coast of Brittany would do me.
not too French, and near enough to pop home if I wanted.
