Posted: 13:38 - 17 Apr 2006 Post subject: Im looking to do my 1st trip this summer-Anyone up 4 it? |
|
|
Dont know where, when etc......not bothered really, am open to suggestion. But I'm definitely off for a few weeks this summer. Was thinking of going up to Scotland but after reading the forum I might get a bit more adventurous and go to Europe.
Never been on a bike trip before...in fact, never been to Europe before
Anyway, would rather go in a group or at least with someone else, but as none of my mates are bikers I thought I'd see if theres anyone on here up for it.
Cheers !!!
By the way, I'll be going on a ZX-6. ____________________ Live fast - die....erm...well...old !!! |

As I have said in my post about France, I am considering going as part of a group - I just need to see how MrsHippy feels about it.
Having done some poking around on the web, it seems you can get a villa type thing around the Nice area that sleeps 6 for about £400 for a week at the end of September, so that would work out at about £75 per person + petrol and food . Sounds like a plan to me ____________________ I spend all my money on bikes and beer, the rest I simply waste! |

naa I know its not the perfect touring tool but alas thats what I've got lol.
I mean I can hare-arse around the place here at home cant I.
Just looking to get away and see a bit of the world on the bike, and if there is the odd tempting, warm, twisty bit of tarmac then great, but thats not the aim. ____________________ Live fast - die....erm...well...old !!! |

OK, I've had a chat with MrsHippy and she is well up for traveling as a group
I suppose we need to start thinking about when - I'm pretty much fully booked for time untill the end of July, so it's gonna be late Aug onwards for us, after school holidays would be best anyway I think. ____________________ I spend all my money on bikes and beer, the rest I simply waste! |

the idea for a base is a good point hippy .ive done this before with 4/5 of my mates(some couples) who like to just chill out for the day when they get to the base .and some like to ride every day which is fine i think .
we have used the fastcat crossing from newhaven to dieppe for years but that has stopped now ill have a look at your link as my other half needs to get across fast as she hates sailing . ____________________ Nobody dies a virgin, life screws us all. |

Yes niff it is green, has to be if its a kwak
What we need to do is either meet up before hand to meet everybody or we could just meet at dover on the day lol.
If we compile a list of who is interested at the moment then we can all look at accomadation prices/ferry prices/calculate food and petrol cost so we can get an average price per person.
Think about if it is best to stop in b+b, camp or hostels etc...
The earlier we plan things the more time we have to book and make any changes, we would also need to plan a route of whereabouts we are going, no need to follow this inch by inch but its best to do a plan of action lol.
I shall start looking at prices of things |

Looking at the cities in france, found a few that look nice places, theres bordeaux,toulouse and a bit furthedown is marseille.
Now there is some 2/3 star hotels for 30 euros per night which isnt bad, average prices of about 40/50 euros, camp sites will be little money and the b+b's usually are cheaper than hotels.
Those are just a few places ive looked at and look good, theres alot of history and scenic routes at the places mentioned.
See what you lot can come up with ____________________ Test passed october 2005
