What about the bike ?
Planning on having 2 months off work from Aug 27 and doing a 50 day europe trip. Riding to Croatia, then down to Greece spending a week off the bike in Halkidiki, then to Romania, spending 2 days off the bike in Hungary looking up some old friends. Then making my way back. No camping but may change, travelling solo at present. If I like somewhere I will want to stop hence a window of 50 days with wriggle room.

Not sure how far North you'll get, but we'll be pottering round between Nantes & St Malo.....

Oops, change of plan I’m afraid, I'm keeping the lap of France to do with wifey
I’m going down the Route Napoleon this time and then back up on the RDGA
Happy trails in Brittany
Slight change of plan here too. I’ve been watching videos of the Sandraiders event and have decided it’s just too hard for me. So my lad is doing it with his mate and we’re looking at the Hardalpitour. Has anyone done this? We’re looking at the discovery level. 400km over 2 days a night in a hotel. 70% of it on roads and the off road sections are very easy apparently. Just who’s very easy I don’t know but it does look more like an event I could do.
Yes…. Even though I am still enjoying our Spain and France jaunt am thinking about another one next year… same sort of idea really.
2 weeks, ferry from Portsmouth. 2 days Picos and back through France.
Max 3 pax….

Santander ferry booked for May, hopefully Portugal but, Spain if the weather doesn’t play ball.
I also want to do the Balkans in September, will see if funds allow.

I’ve got a trip to the Portuguese Moto GP on the bike in November.
Plans for next year?? Nothing concrete but hopefully a trip (or two) to Dent, The Pyrenees, camping again like this year, and maybe a Moto GP?

Couple of mates have done it.
I would be interested.
Haven’t done any off roading since leaving Derbyshire (2023) but used to do quite a lot.
Probably got a suitable bike!

I think I’m going to go to Alaska and the Yukon and bike around a bit with Bilco of this very parish.
I mentioned this only two days ago to the lovely hotel proprietor I was at in France over breakfast - she is French Canadian, and she just looked at me with big eyes and said - “Motorcycle? - you know the bears are a real thing, right?”

We’ve booked a Spain/ France jobby for next May . No cruise down . Going to ride both ways instead .
HDO in Picos as has to be done , then a few Paradors and back over Pyrenees and up through Périgord to Loire valley etc . About 13 nights.
@grantmac has even threatened to join us , so there might be a bit of faffing whilst we wait for the WankPanzer

Twat….
are planning our next trip to Croatia next year
I'd be interested to hear / nick your tour plan ideas once you get them into shape. We fancy the same trip in 2027.
I have a friend that lived over there for a while and told me his biggest adjustment was not to just jump out his car at random places and take in the magnificent scenery (as we all do in Scotland)!I think I’m going to go to Alaska and the Yukon and bike around a bit with Bilco of this very parish.

All he carried was a big knife when first there.
Yeah, bears are real and you might even stumble across the polar variety where you’re going?! lol
Honourable mention for wolverines as well
