Trust me they are not if you ride with this bunch
Also don't even bother asking "is this a proper tarmac road we are going on?"

Depends,
IIRC '07 was the week before easter, and the turkey trot ('08)was the week after.
but i'm sure someone will book a date, which will get posted, and then anyone else going will follow suit....

I thought i looked happy, that was quite early in the trip, i was a bit peed off when we got to sitting around Glasgow, but then that sports bike tyre was fitted to St. Eptoes bike and that cheered me up no end

Fairly simple explanation. Easter 07 was well into April - easter 08 was end of March. The turket trot was going through the alps and other higher ground, hence the need to be as late as possible so give a chance to miss bad weather.
Easter is fri 10th April - mon 13th this year.
So a Friday 10th start would suit the weather rather than a sat 4th April .
So shall we say friday 10th April (easter friday) - return sunday 19th April.
Tunnel crossing for 8am on the friday
or a 7am because we loose an hour on the time change. A quick show of hands in the next couple of days on the time and that'll be sorted. The usual - 1st stop Bordeaux/ Bayonne - next stop Algerciras. Sunday morning across to Africa.
It's a go'er - Buy the ticket, take the ride.
But i'm not in charge, no silly questions, just turn up and go. Your all old enough not to be looked after, live a little.

it all went down hill from that moment on - Too predictable
