I thought finding Insurance cover would be easier than it is. 
Any ideas/suggestions would be greatly appreciated, guys

No apparent connection to UK, but might be worth an email to see if they have a suggestion.

Thanks Mark much appreciated

Now that looks very interesting.
I've got some reading to do, especially looking for the fine print that says, not available to foreigners 
Like the old saying goes " I don't know what I don't know until I know it" 
so I keep searching.

Thanks I'll look into it.
Seems I'm making progress in my efforts to climb the Mt Everest of bike insurance, bit by bit, but I'm determined to reach my goal & every bit of knowledge helps.

I've put together a rough map of what I'd be up for given 5 weeks and 2 wheels... A smidge over 3000 miles and it's not a complete loop!
You are guaranteed to get some bad weather at some stage here in the UK so best bet is to get some waterproof gear and just keep riding. One piece thin shell rain suits can be had for about £30.
