Mighty oaks from little acorns grow...... - SV650.org

This scheme is still in its infancy(i'm thinking out loud really) and no dates or anything like that have been considered......

However i have been thinking about offering a rideout that will probably last 1/2 nights, in Southern Brittany. We would be based near Josselin, which is about midway between Rennes and Lorient. We can use one of my parents houses as a base and then go exploring from there.

To get there we would have the option of the ports at St Malo/Roscoff which are about 2 hours away, or 4 hours from Caen/Cherbourg. The trade off is that the closer ports are usually a lot more expensive to use, especially during the summer/tourist season.

The genuine budget option is to come over at Calais, which is always cheap as chips, but then the distance to travel is a lot greater.

Basically this is an opportunity to explore a bit of France that you wouldn't normally get to see on a day trip across the channel.

When i sober up in the morning i may change my mind, but is there any provisional interest?

Ferry crossing is the main expense. I will do some recon on prices although they do vary drastically for no particular reason!
