- Thread starter HGS
- Start date
Currently enjoying a long weekend in northern France with the Missus so will send you some links when I am back. Cheers
What a super write up for what was clearly a super trip ! Thank you for posting. Apologies if I have missed it but is there a link please for that property site or did you just Google it or find it through a recommendation ?
Love that sort of stuff and would love to do the beaches.
Thanks.

We paid £2276, 21st to 28th June this years
Looks like it has gone up a little over £300 for the same week in 2026, showing £2599 for me
I did get a discount via booking com on the booking
Looks like you had a grand time,crackin pics and write up 
Thank you HGS for that ... will definitely look into it 
Ran a similar trip a few years back and the sheer number of sites to visit in the area is overwhelming. Great recommendation for the accommodation thanks, however most of the guys I travel with are reluctant to spend anywhere near that sort of money, sadly!
Great write up. I haven't been to Normandy or Brittany for ages must get my lazy ass back there. 
Over the last 23 years every trip has worked out fantastic, some weather exceptions and bastid covid 2020
From the 1st trip we set out a level of accomodation etc that we wanted and the core 6 of us have been on everyone, except one I missed after organising it, due to unforseen circumstances
Others have been invited, done it with 8 a few times, once up to 10, but 6 works much better
We sort out whilst on holiday where we are going next year
Then it's all left to me to sort out
I enjoy the organising. I have learnt over the years that if I put stuff out to a vote, nothing gets decided
Now, I lure them in with the area and accomodation and it cuts all the faffing out. I know what the budget is and get the costs as low as I can
That house in France worked out £40 per person per night, so not that expensive
They keep going every year
We’re going to Germany next year. The group have been touring together for at least 25 years now. It started as 4 of us and has varied over the years from that first 4 to one year being 17. This year was 10. We decide whilst away where we would like to go the year after. I organise the routes, another sorts out accommodation and another any ferries. This continues to work very well and because each one of us has a job it takes any need for votes etc. Germany has been decided upon, next I’ll look at an area to visit after that I’ll put together a plan of which towns we can stay at. The accommodation lad will then find hotels.Over the last 23 years every trip has worked out fantastic, some weather exceptions and bastid covid 2020

The ferry will be Hull-Rotterdam, no other option will be given. We’ll be having a few beers one evening in the next couple months to decide on a date.
That is sad isn't it ? We go away every couple of years with friends (non bikers) and always use a website called "Sleeps12.com" .. Luxury houses, barns etc all over the country and IT IS expensive but between 6 couples may only be 3/400 quid for a week. utter luxury I kid you not. Take a look. The usual get in after 3 pm so where ever in the country it is we have a bit of a drive, pub lunch, get there and pre book a Tesco delivery for 4 pm so we don't have to pack and lug a weeks worth of food (and drink obviously) about ! I digress but you get the idea.
