From the bottom of the UK to the very top

Killyleagh Castle, County Down

With lockdown lifting in Northern Ireland, it was time to get out and about again. This is my Tiger 1200 outside Killyleagh Castle, which is simply stunning on a sunny spring day. Damian Mcafee

Isle of Skye

I have just come back from an awesome road trip to the Isle of Skye on my Tracer. As you can see, I camped rather than stayed in hotels. The ferry to Mallaig was great but the ride back across the bridge from Skye and the A87 home was awesome! Marc Egan

Cheddar Gorge, Somerset

Here is me and my mate Pete May in the Cheddar Gorge during a tour of the Cotswolds area on our BMW G650GSS, which are perfect bikes for the back lanes and B-roads we took. Staying just above Bristol allowed us to ride to the Brecon Beacons, Cotswolds, North Wessex Downs and the coast at Weston-super-mare. We couldn't get to Europe but still had a great time with good weather and fantastic scenery. Chris Hinchliffe

Snake Pass, Derbyshire

Here is my Suzuki GSX650F on top of Snake Pass just outside Glossop at the end of a fantastic morning’s riding through the Peak District. Having worked all through lockdown, it was a pleasure to book a Friday off and spend some time stretching her legs for something other than a commute. Paul Crompton

North Yorkshire Moors

Out on the North Yorkshire Moors, my first time taking the mighty GSA off-road.

Ballachuli­sh, Highlands

I recently went on a camping weekend up at the Red Squirrel Campsite in Glencoe on my BMW F800GT. Here it is parked up while passing through Ballachuli­sh. Ian Mountfort

Bodmin Moor, Cornwall

Here is my Tiger 900GT Pro on Bodmin Moor on a beautiful day, close to the village of St. Tudy. It was the birth place of a Captain William Bligh of Mutiny On The

Bounty fame. He and a handful of loyalists landed at Timor in 1789 after 3,618 miles in an open boat. My Triumph is far comfier... David Robinson

Peak District

After a long lay-off following my latest surgery this was my first big ride out over the Peak District. I started at Donington Park, went over Swarkeston­e Bridge and then up to Ashbourne towards Buxton via Monyash and Monsal Head before stopping off at Yondermans Café. John Mcphee

Chepstow, Monmouthsh­ire

My friend and I went on our CBRS around some amazing roads between Chepstow and Tintern. We had a laugh when someone told us those bikes looked ‘big for us’ and we could drop them as they were too heavy. The highlight of the day was a question from a passer-by; ‘Did YOU ride it here?’ Yes, we did! Anna Lambourne

Largs, North Ayrshire

Running in my new Triumph Tiger 900GT Pro with a ride down the Clyde Coast to Largs. Ian Allan

Peterborou­gh

A local ride out with a couple of mates on a sunny but chilly April day ended in us finally taking a look at the Keith Flint mural in Peterborou­gh. Lockdown and the recent loss of both my parents has taken their toll but a ride-out with two mates (Malcom and Mel) is a great way to head towards recovery. Martin Leader
