Disappointing places.

The Ace Cafe.
A shite ride to get to and if it didn't have signs telling you what it was, you'd think it was just another boring faceless box in Lahndahn.
Navigating the bike bores to get in to order some overpriced, underwhelming grub was irksome.

Dunstable Downs in Bedfordshire.
It used to be a glorious, natural area of outstanding natural beauty but now it's being 'run' by the National Trust.
They've built a monstrosity of a visitors center where everything inside costs stupid money.
The privilege of parking up to take my dog for would have cost me three pounds and fifty pence had I been willing to bend over.
Bollocks to that.
I only hope some day it becomes no longer viable to run so that it returns to what it was. Free.

Visited Camber Sands recently, the area is great, however there was a specific location the people I was meeting were staying called Pontins, a run down holiday park that resembled a concentration camp. Had to get out of there ASAP.

If anything Pontins at Camber Sands is worse than a concentration camp. When I was there about 8 years ago, the balconies in one block had completely collapsed.

I stayed at Pontins just south of Blackpool many years ago when I was helping out a rally team for the NW Rally Stages. Pontins was used for the accommodation while we were there. Concentration camp is accurate, complete with institutionalised breakfast where you have to sit in one of four coloured quadrants in the breakfast "hall" and get your food in turn. I felt like I was in a film set for some bizarre production. Except I wasn't. I didn't go back.

Edit: Google suggests the Blackpool Pontins was demolished. Thank god for that.

John O'groats. Very under whelming, Shit weather, no scenery to look at, no Northern lights.. The roads around Caithness are good though. Wick and Thurso is a goodnight out at the weekend but watch you don't get mugged by the Glasgow overspill. I did.

Oakley Motorcycle Club, Beds..

Dropped in last Thursday eve to see what was happening and load of bikes/biker there. All grey heads and more KTMs and BMWs that you could shake a shitty stick at...
No idea what the point of it all was.. No 'interesting' bikes in my view although I did pause to look over an Aprilia Shiver., and precious few interesting people, just serious bikers with reliable machinery
