zetecherb

lol na its not technical yet just and idea of what kind of route through what places etc its not technical the technical one i got is about 12 pages long so far lol

big_wig_074

we do something similar every year,costs a lot less though,we steer clear of france as much as possible due to the tolls and end up spending circa 300 per person based on 2 people per car,its a great adventure

zetecherb

what ones that?? me and my mates have chosen this route cause we wanna go monaco and through the alps and finish at nurberg

big_wig_074

this was our route,11 days worth there,amsterdam,nurburgring,italian grand prix,ferrari factory,loads of fun!

zetecherb

ye that looks quite cool, me and my mate love drance though so we'd have to go more france way

Jessop

When are you planning on going? A couple of mates are going to do something similar but we want to go for a bit longer.

big_wig_074

to keep costs down find normal roads that follow the autoroutes,as there are SOOOOO many tolls its just not funny,to drive through france one way on autoroutes costs more than a whole years car tax in the uk!its every few miles and annoying at best,have a good time,and dont speed too much as the french arent too forgiving

You seem to be missing out the best bit of all which is the mountain passes in Switzerland!

zetecherb

we're going the thursday before weekend of lemans as we're driving down to watch le mans first then the monday after we're starting the trip .


We'll be going around north of switzerland

Allyc85

Ah fair enough, if you can the Furka Pass, Grimsel Pass and Sustenpass roads are well worth doing

France motorway toll costs are ridiculously high... As a rule of thumb, about 5 euro Euro for every 100 kms of motorway...

If you do the trip, give me a shout and I might join in for the last part through Germany...

zetecherb

that picture is wicked ive seen a few pics like this now would love to go there.


Peter trips defo happening my mate should be booking the ferry tickets tomorrow

PeterRST

iTrader: (1)

From experience, ferries to Dunkirk are cheaper than Dover.

Also, last time i booked one I did it right in the harbour, the evening before I actually went. Only cost 35 quid or so.

Guess it doesn't really pay off to book weeks or months in advance.

you gotta drive throught the netherlands first

big_wig_074

oh it does pay off,its about 20 quid in advance,whereas it can be up to about 50 on the day,get the ferry booked nice and early

zetecherb

Mine are all booked already £7.50 deal lol 8 tickets booked just waiting for tickets to arrive then I can give them out to the people that are coming

mk2rstaff

Jessop

What's BLESMA? I would be up for doing something for H4H even if it is seperate from my main trip with my mates.

mk2rstaff

BLESMA, British Limbless Ex Service Men's Association

Jessop

Yeh deffo up for it. My dad did a 150 mile bike ride for H4H in May. One end of Furteventura to the other, and back angain in one day!

mk2rstaff
