Nothing set in stone as yet..apart from ferry bookings. Basically its Chunnel to France....blast down to Toulon...over to Sardinia..back to Corsica...ferry to Savona...Switzerland...to spend a couple days on the Bernina Express...then head home via Rotterdam/Hull.
We visited Gorge du Verdon, Castellane and the Col de la Bonnette this year, albeit in the car.
I’d be up for something like that if you have room?
I've been through or round Lyon five or six times, in car or on bike. The only time it wasn't horrendous was at 8pm on a Sunday. Every other time the traffic was appalling.
We went there in 2025 on the way to Corsica....had no bother getting to city centre hotel...though it was very busy.
We were there last year. The centre was very busy but we were travelling by train so it didn’t really bother us. I did like the place though.
With that time I´d go for a jaunt around the Eifel and Mosel Areas.....Brother in Law and I are planning a 2027 trip -
Day 1 - Merseyside to Hull, Hull to Rotterdam Ferry overnight.
Day 2 - Rotterdam through the Netherlands into Germany
Day 3 - Germany
Day 4 - Germany back to Rotterdam and overnight ferry back to Hull
Day 5 - Hull back to Merseyside.
Currently have no specfic plans on where in Germany we're going, although we'll plan before we leave.
Our only stipulation is we have to avoid Motorway, Autobahn, and wherever possible avoid fast A-roads so we can't get too deep into Germany because...
...my bike for the trip will be the Honda Monkey, B-i-L will be on his Grom
Thank you - much appreciated. On bigger bikes we'd just blast through, but the whole premise of our trip is to do the trip on the 125s, so we may have to put up with some 'dull' but the fun is in the doing it on an impractical bike.
