I am going away with 3 mates in may for a Euro trip. I did it on the blade in 2011 but this year taking the GT86. We are going portsmouth to Caen on the Sunday night then intend to go towards Switzerland possibly via Dijon, then Liechtenstein, up to Stuttgart, Luxenberg then into france to calais. Approx 1500 miles if we keep to this but will most probably take some other route We always have a basic idea of what we want and this year it's to go to Switzerland. We don't book the channel tunnel until a day or so before so would not book this until we are making our way back. Anyone know of any nice places to stay/areas etc.... So I have a heads up on where to look Will be doing between 250 -500 miles a day but don't want to have to rush anywhere. normal day would be get up and going by 9Am. and get to our next place by 5pm. Enjoy our trip. Stay in hotels on the evening and go out for a few beers and meals on the night. Can't wait myself and should be good to see the GT86 alongside a Lotus S2, Cayman and 1993 911 Turbo. So any nice places on the route that you think might be worth staying or looking at diverting to on our way
Buy the great motorcycle journeys book I put up in the touring section - it will def. give you some ideas and well worth having From Caen you should see some of the Normandy beaches etc. if you and there is an amazing small harbour town called honfleur or similar to stay in after you looked at them From there you have so much choice - enjoy the trip and make sure you film / photo lots of it!
cheers for that and will do. taking my DSLR and New go pro. Got some new mounts so hoping to get some good video as well
In Luxembourg, head for the Hotel de la Sure, in Esch sur Sure. Stunning roads on the way in and out, and great food and wine in the hotel restaurant.
