how much?
 

how much do you spend on a trip abroad??
i know it depends on a lot....but ....where have you been & how much did it cost??

i quite fancy a trip next summer :wink: ....anytime,but somwhere sunny

Probably about £500-600 (with a cheap ferry). I never keep track but I don't spend that much other than petrol as I camp, I'm tired so a couple of beers knock me out and go places that are cheap. Anywhere is sunny in summer (or soaking wet). Last year because it was trails I didnt use that much fuel when there, but more went on socialising.

Tyres and a service put the cot up tho, but I usually find that a set of tyres and the miles left before next service interval do me for the rest of the year.

Re: how much?
 

I guessed it at around £700 for 10 days which was about right. Around £50 per day plus a new set of tyres. Something like £25 for fuel, £10 camping*, £15 food and drink*.

*optional bits :wink:

Yes, £50 a day works for me. I dont count goodies in the above amount.

£50 a day is the right amount to budget for almost all travelling.
£650 quid a month? I spend more than that on rent and council tax and electric and gas. So when I go - that goes too. Just storage costs for my stuff.

cool.......sounds good

In Europe a 2 star hotel will cost you about 35-50 Euro per night, but that's a 2 bed room so you can split it with a buddy. (allow £25 each and you should be fine)

Food: Evening mean £10-15 plus about £5 for lunch

Petrol at least £20/day (that's about 200 miles)

Ferry - Dover-Calais is about £30-60, depending on when you go

Don't for get any extra health insurance or recovery you may want to invest in, and any additional clothing/kit you may need before you go. I've got all my kit now (although some of it's out on loan) so it's just a case of getting everything together before I go.

I normally reckon on £500 for a week, but last time we put the bikes on a train at Calais, and woke up the next morning in Nice. That was a bit more expensive but it set us up for a great weeks riding.

Where you thinking of going and when ?

.

dont know? i would like to go to france & spain next summer(i drove to benerdorm a few years ago)
that would be good on a bike,but i have not made any plans time off work is ok....but i will need to grt a laptop so i can still post on here :wink:

EDIT: just noticed the nuroburgring trip 8)

Note that further East you go - the cheaper it gets.
Also it goes without saying - it helps if you have pals along the way.
I have an urge to bike though Transylvania and see Romania before it all changes in the EU.
Pal in Bucharest says its cheap as chips - and fags and booze a fraction of the price.
