Having had to cancel an April trip and a Late May trip:blast have just booked a eurotunnel crossing 23rd July not returning until 3rd August:D. Cochem, Freudenstadt, Pfunds, nothing else planned except back up to Laon for 2nd August for easy trip up to eurotunnel on 3rd. Maybe 2020 won’t be a complete washout after all:thumby:
 
We’ve booked our ferry to Cherbourg for the 17th July. Down to Sid’s then a jaunt around the Pyrenees. :beerjug:
 
Just booked the tunnel for 20th August returning 30th, i'll decide where i'm going when i hit Calais :eyebrow
 
Looking to re-book Harwich > Hook of Holland for 3rd August, undecided whether to stick to my initial 3 weeks or cut it to 2

Love the roads round there. I’m starting in Arnhem 18th Sept for the commemorations then off to Mohne dam, Simmerath, Spa, Bad Bertrich, Bastogne 9 days in all and cannot wait. Have a good trip Frank.

Beware there are lots of cops on the 500 nowadays, was there last year.

Day two Freudenstadt

Good day today, first 30 miles from cochem fantastic roads, then about 100 dual carriageway way, then about 70 more cross country and awsome:thumby:

Germans are very careful of the virus (no bad thing) everyone one is wearing whenever they enter an enclosed space.

Couple of pics in freudenstadt and one of hotel about 20 min walk into town.

Was going to get a BMW tat, but it was closed, see pic:D
