Good evening & sorry if this question has been asked before but what is the average mileage people do daily when touring the UK given that time will be spent stopping to take in the views on a scenic drive?

Due to pick up our first motorhome within the next 2 weeks & planning a trip with ideas from 'Take the Slow Road' of England & Wales.

New to the club but do belong to a car club & used to planning trips in the UK & Europe but this is a totally different experience.....

Many thanks in anticipation,

Paul (Kasspa)

It looks OK but I have seen enough of Cornwall lanes on Doc Martin to put me off

I've never watched Doc Martin

The B3306 is a superbly scenic route taking you over moorland, through villages and with coastal views.

Now here's the but. It’s a narrow, twisty road with granite walls and boulders projecting from hedges in places and very few passing places. HGVs use it to reach farms and villages but they don't have flimsy plastic/ali bodies…

In your van, I wouldn’t do it. In my steel sided panel van, I might. I have a feeling there may be a bus runs that way if you want to look see, and it is worth it, but like a lot of West Cornwall it’s an area that screams "hire car" at you.

Good morning Tinny, shall we suggest to the visitors to Cornwall that they try the coast road from Crackington Haven via Millook to Widemouth Bay ? Or not ?

Morning, Euro. Or maybe the Valley of the Rocks toll road at Lynton?

As we know, our area has loads of these delightful little roads and many are just passable with a MH providing there isn’t another vehicle coming from the opposite direction. However, what’s possible and what’s sensible are two entirely different things. After being used to the Westcountry, I find the single track roads of Scotland with their low hedges and passing places an absolute doddle. 😀
