Another big
to Chris and everyone on the trip, it was indeed 'the holiday of a lifetime'. I suspect slightly different from Bilko's normal fayre as with the exception of one lone annoying single bloke
it was couples, which added another dynamic to this sort of trip (yes Peter/Andrew, you were a couple
). I'm not a fan of the 'peloton' approach to touring, preferring to go at my own pace, the framework of Bilko's tours enables you to do this whilst still providing a safety handrail and my wife appreciated the company of others in the evening so she didn't have to listen to me droning on!
Would I do it again? Difficult one that, of course if I had unlimited funds I'd be there now, but I don't, and I don't do the lottery so unlikely to ever have. I haven't accurately worked out the cost but it was over £6k which is a lot of dosh for me and would pay for several European tours so it's more down to justifying the cost which for now (might change my mind
) I don't think I could do again. Was it worth doing? Bloody right and money well spent, an itch scratched that started in the 70's after watching EasyRider.
Some extra-curricular activities;
Battle of the Little Big Horn. The last view Custer Had (obviously visitor centre wasn't there!
Virginia City (Think Ian McShanes 'Deadwood'), preserved gold rush town and one time capital of Montana. Andrew recruits a team to rob the bank to pay for another camera
Does my Bum look big on this horse? Girls go off riding in Waterton, bikes get a decent run without carting 10 tons of kit on them
