Guest philgale Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 Realistically as a broad base, you need to budget on a grand.Booze, drugs, prostitutes..........£150.00 only stopping one night????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 Thats a good estimate keith..When i went Germany this year it was a bit dearer due to the Nurbugring costs.But when i did France the year before,it was nearer the grand cost..If its a "largish " group,when i went to France there was 22 of us,you will automatically split into groups and meet up at lunch,coffee,view stops...

DG Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 Count me and the missus in, depending on what time of year you're on abart going.Just a thought for you though, instead of the ferry you could take the chunnel. It only cost me and Jackie £46 and it only takes 35 minutes.If nobody has done it (riding abroad that is!) It is THE most rewarding and satisfying thing ever!

Whats the deal with the bikes on the chunnel? Are they strapped down or do you have to sit on it the whole way across?Also, why is it so rewarding? Just wondered.

fuzzrr Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 The bike isn't strapped down on the chunnel. I just sat on the floor next to it with my foot up against the back wheel when it started to rock a bit. Most of the journey is pretty smooth and there is no need to touch it.Has anybody though about going to the Bol D'or????? Then maybe a spin down to the Alps or summat?? Maybe go for a week?

DG Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 O dear Chuck read the flippin whole page and not just the bits that makes you go ooo!!!(Riding abroad!!) That's the most rewarding thing!! You gotta go there to come back! (That's a Stereophonics album that is ya know! )When you on about going?????And no you don't strap your bike down either, you stand nervously against it while it shakes about like a drunk!!! You have to stand poised ready to give a hand when she's about to fall over!!Good fun though!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lonely Old Dave Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 Hi, If you go out of peak holiday time, go by Norfolk Line ferries. They go from Dover to Dunkirk. The last time i asked for a price they offered me a ticket for £19 each way [ £38 ] They were also doing a car with five people for just £29 each way off peak. As they mostly carry lorries, their canteen is very good value. Just like a good old tranport cafe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
