Has everyone GOT to get back for 3rd? I could probably do an extra couple of days and get back on the 4th or 5th if anyone fancies extending the trip home?

I need to be back for the ......15th!
To be honest I was thinking of riding up to the West Coast of Scotland & then riding home via The Lake District to hook up with Stevie & Doc again on the 6th.

Ade,Phil i like both stickers but i think the rectangular one will go better on the panniers.
Doesn't it remind you of a confectionary wrapper?
Either would be great Ade, get a price & I'll place my order and fill another space on my panniers.
Yep back on duty on the 3rd, but i don't mind heading home solo if you guys wish to extend
Both stickers look grand don't mind either

The stickers work out about 2.50 each... might be able to get them down to 2 quid depending on how many we want.. personally, i prefer the round ones...
Re: the return date, i didn't wanto cause a rukkus (is that a word) just wondered if anyone had been pondering this...
Question is now do i get a new front tyre.... hmmm... 15k miles only on 2nd set.. i think thats quite good..

Re: return date.
What are you thinking Ade?
Staying over there for a while?
My dilema is I already have a return ferry booked with no refund available & a B&B booked for the 2nd.
My plan was return Mon 2nd & stay a night in Dover, ride home Tuesday, camp Lake District Fri & Sat with the Tossers & possibly ride on up to Scotland weather dependant.
What you got planned?
Go on, try twisting my arm!
Stickers:
Round ones, I'll take 7.

Well i was flying out to spain on the Saturday but am not now until 11th, so i was maybe thinking, well anything really.. Looking at the itinerary we are heading homeward on the 1st... I keep missing places like the Czeck Republic out and thought maybe a northerly loop into Prague the head west through Deutschland home. Either that or head back from como via a blast around the pyrenees via route Napolean and Gorge du Verdon. Como to the base of the pyrenees is doable in one long day or 2 leisurely ones (1st and 2nd Aug). 2 days pyrenees (3rd and 4th) Then north to be back for 6th or 7th ferry-ish.
Just thinking aloud really. Not sure on the ferry date change costs but it was only 30 quid anyhoo.... I can sell my body for more than that

Any of those routes sound grand if you guys get the chance, go fo it. I don't mind a solo ride back of even if two of us head back on that day.
Bung me down for a couple of each if ok
Stu
Put me down for 2 round 'uns. As for the extended tour ill check my duties at work. The problem i have is booking extra leave in the school hols.( Most of the lads on my team have kids)
If i can get the leave i'm flexible either way , Germany sounds good tho'
