Europe 2011, France, Spain, Italy and east.
 

I'm starting to plan my trip for next year. Dover to Calais, and then south. Trying for the Med and northern Italy. Done a few country's in Europe manly to the west. Now hope to go east. Ride down to northern Italy then on-ward's in to old Yugoslavia. Slovenia, Croatia, If I can get down to Greece and then ride up the Black sea side of Bulgaria, Romania. Coming back through Hungary, Austria, Czech republic, Germany, and home.

Any one interested in Joining me. Thinking of leaving late May. And arriving back sometime mid June. Something like 14/20 day in total.

I live in Norfolk. And can put some one up for the night. To make the crossing at Dover easer.

I'm teamed up with Chris for a similar adventure and we are looking for a couple more. And oddly I live in north Suffolk.

I've just read that. Looks like a few people are interested. You just have to be careful of key board traveller's. I'll keep my eye on it and see how it move's. I can't do two or three month's away. But could be interested in staying for as long as the cash holds out.

2011 - Google Maps

The round trip is about 4,600 miles


I've got this on Google map's. Not carved in stone. But what is, there must be sun. No wet cold damp night's for me. Well not many.

Right card's on the table. I've got a long in the tooth sport's bike that not let me down and I've taken it most place's. I'm in to picture taking and film's. Have on-board video. When I get old and grey I'll have something to look at and say I did that. Down side is I don't drink. That is unless one of you gets married or drop's down dead. Then I'll have a glass. I must say I do like my drug's, Sanatogen, Horlick's, Tobacco, Coffee, and an odd bar of chocolate.

Besides English, I can speak Total Bolxx, Fluent in bull shit. And a bit of utter crap. So let's see how it pan's out. So far it's looking good, And I'll let you know near the date's.

Are you sure when you old and grey you will be looking back?
I just did a shorter trip through France, N Italy, Austria, Czech rep. Poland and back through Germany, holland and Belgium.

mostly because I wanted to see this up close and personal.

I have been grey for lots of years... in two months I'll be 67.

Hi John,

Definately sounds like a trip I would be interested in doing, will keep an eye on the thread or perhaps you could PM with any further details.

Many thanks, Richard.

E mail sent.

Hey

I've managed to get myself 4 weeks off in June and was looking at doing something very very similar.

Never done any massive travelling except a month in NZ and a couple of weeks in France so planning on pushing it a bit this time.

Have you set any firm dates as yet ?

This is the URL to what I was planning on doing, no scheduled stops or timings etc, just a general route at this stage.

Euro Tour 2011

John933

Yeah, that'll be me being an arse doh

Here you go : Euro Tour The pinpoints are just destinations, and it might take a couple of days to get between one and aan other. I was more interested in mapping out the route at this stage.

No problem. I've got a PhD in being that. So my lady friend say's.
Your not very good at this link posting thim'm bob are you.

John933

Just joined the forum... absolute goldmine...

anyhow...

John, can you pm me.. I have both the time and inclination to burden myself on you..

John..got your PM... the trip seems like a strong possibility. I was planning on having a bimble around Germany in June.

I have booked a place (or 4) at the Derbyshire meet at the back end of June, so this could tie in nicely.

When I've posted a few more times, I'll PM you with my email and we can take it from there.

Steve

Did you have a look at the link and the route? There is another who is intrested so if you come on board that will make three.
