Not wishing to put a downer on plans, but something to consider - it'll be the Bank Holiday weekend so North Wales and the Peak District (and roads leading to them) will be rammed with tourists. The North Wales Traffic Taliban are likely to be out in numbers and on the hunt for the scalps of weekend warriors coming to play in their manor. Likewise in NE Lincs - it's the force's best opportunity to boost funds so they will likewise be geared up for stamping out any fun on the roads (understandable in a way because they have to pick up the pieces when visiting riders encounter the talent gap and wipe out) - BSB and the Bank Holiday traffic to Skeggy are the biggest annual influx of visitors to the county all year and they're generally on a zero- or low-tolerance policy for offenders. There are some great roads in the Wolds, one being the A157 from Wragby to Louth that will be used by a lot of the Cadwell-bound traffic, another enjoyable but similarly busy one will be the A153 that passes the circuit and goes South through Horncastle to Sleaford and on to Grantham.
You'll have a great time but there will be ten or twenty thousand other bikers filling those roads as well. Enjoy...

Good call there Scotty, yeah, had crossed my mind but just thought what the hell... Hopefully have half a decent ride up to North wales on the Thursday day time then take it as it comes rest of the time, then Tuesday Wednesday bank holiday traffic hopefully dispersed :)

Will be a giggle regardless and see the big boys jumping the mountain, bit like me really... ;) =)) :-?
