Who fancies it next year? Thinking good Friday to Easter Tuesday. @Andy800 @Pete1950 @MaDProFF @Dave @chizel @J biker and more...
Open to suggestions. Usual suspects I’d guess: Eiffel, Ardennes (as I didn’t get to see much of it ), Black Forest or anywhere a days ride from Blighty really.
Ditto. How about Plymouth-Roscoff to Le Havre-Portsmouth (Brittany & Normandy), or the other way around depending on sailing times, with some WW2 Operation Overlord stuff? Was thinking of doing this anyway.
Black Forest sounds good. Germany, Austria, Slovenia looked good when I drove through last year TBH I’m not fussed, same as @bradders just want to make a full trip
Parc naturel regional des Ballons des Vosges. Can dip in to Black Forest and Eiffel National Park from there. More good road options than Ardennes. About 8 hours from me, 6 ish from Calais. maybe too far for you guys.?
unfortunately i doubt i can make this.. looking like its gunna be a bit of a shit start to the year work wise...
I do like the Vosges but for a long weekend it's a big schlep to get there and back (ideally 2 days in either direction if you're anywhere in the UK other than SE). Added to which, and being selfish, I'll be there with a group on the way to Switzerland in June. We'll be spending two nights in Colmar with a day in the Vosges.
yes, its a hike. I might be doing Bourg St Maurice for a few days later in the year anyway, a good base for Alps area. Tend to avoid Switzerland now though, they seem to have sucked the fun out of motorcycling. The passes seem a lot busier there too when I was there last, 2 years ago. Will keep an eye on this and see where you all decide.
Interested. We are talking roughly 10-14 April 2020, I take it. May I enter for consideration a trip to the Moselle (Cochem ... Rhine/Eifel/Taunus/Hunsruck/Westerwald ... Nurburgring) area? Calais to Cochem is about 300 miles. Hotel Noss could be a possibility : https://www.hotel-noss-cochem.de/en/hotel/our-establishment/
