Euro Long Weekender
 

OK, so having looked at daily mileages, and not wanting to spend every hour of every day on the road, I've come up with a new route.
This should mean 2 days to get down to the Alps, 2 days exploring the mountains (including some of the lakes), before a 2 day trip home.
Route is just rough at the moment.
I can always do Monaco another time.

Alright Chaps,
Im planning a Euro weekender later this year - see link to the route below.
Just thought I'd see if there was much interest from the SWSurfers?

Day 1 would be blast from Bristol to Bern (C) via calais.
Day 2 would be a fun day in the mountains, lake Garda and down to Modena to play with the Ferraris.
Day 3 would be a cruise along the French south coast to Monaco, and up across the mountains.
Day 4 would be the trip home.

I've got a prebooked eurotunnel ticket from last year that I never got round to using - think it runs out in May. But I might speak to them about extending the ticket as the higher mountain passes maybe closed that time of year.
Any tentative interest in the trip?

Cheers,
AL

thats 600-700 miles a day?

Re: Euro Long Weekender
 

"Only" 525.

Still doesnt sound like much fun - or much time to "look at the Ferraris"

Re: Euro Long Weekender
 

Fair enough - Good point. I might stretch it out a bit then.
Was more thinking about route planning than the daily mileage.
Might look at making it a week trip instead of the long weekender.

i might tag along for a day or two depending how far you get! Maybe do the long hog on day one via motorway and then have a play around for a day or two and then burn it back up the Mway again?

you have to get to dover and back;)

Re: Euro Long Weekender
 

some of us surfers have already got a trip in the planning and we were looking at going from portmouth.

Re: Euro Long Weekender
 

Spa-fracorchamps to cardiff was 475miles in a day and that was pretty rough going. Anything twistier than the M4/M25/E40 will be even worse, just a little FYI
