Wrinklies Chasing the Sun 9 (5th, 6th and 7th June 2023)

Hello Euro K Clubbers
I just want to gauge the interest for Wrinklies Chasing the Sun 9 for 2023.
This is the first Monday in June which for 2023 will be 5th June.
For those that have not been before this is a three night trip where on the Monday you make your own way to the start point and we stay the night. Tuesday we ride to the next destination and have another night of food, drink and frivolity. Wednesday off to the next destination with rinse and repeat Monday and Tuesday’s frivolities. Thursday make your own way home.
If this is of interest to you please reply in this thread. If I get some interest I will start planning routes and finding hotels.
I was thinking maybe start in somewhere like Weston Super Mare wriggle our way through Wales and across to Shrewsbury and then maybe somewhere like Skegness or Cleethorpes.
All route and booking details will be here in post # 1
Interested so far

These links will give you an idea of the routes but might not be the exact routes.
Route 1 Click Here
Route 2 Click Here
Route 1 starts in Western Super Mare and wriggles up through Wales taking in the fantastic A483 from Crossgates to Newtown and beyond at the right time of day to avoid the misty mornings. Some of you will be familiar with this road if you attended the Welsh Wramble, and cutting across to our destination in Shrewsbury.
Route 2 heads from Shrewsbury up to Macclesfield and on to take in the famous Cat & Fiddle, then through Derbyshire continuing east skirting the Lincolshire Wolds and ending up in Sunny Skegness which might involve ice cream ;D
Route Download links These are links to MyRouteApp if you need the routes in other formats or have any problems please let me know.
Route 1 Download Set your device to include motorways.
Route 2 Download Set your device to avoid motorways. One thing to note on this route, there is a toll bridge but it's free to motorcycles.
The routes were planned for Tomtom .gpx Garmin routes can be downloaded from MRA. It's always a good idea to set coffee, lunch, petrol stops and hotels as favourites incase we get separated where we will wait at the next stop
