We've not booked anything and we're just going to play it by ear, quite happy to camp.

Well done Ali, you saved me from getting out the calculator.

This trip will be fantastic and its great to see so many committed to going as the German guys really treat you well, a few of us had a really good time there a couple of years back.

Also, don't know if some of you are interested but cats and me were talking yesterday about going via the Alps and the Stelvio pass on the trip home and making a really good tour back. However, appreciate that not all can get the time off work or permission from SWMBO.
Now on 9er number 2 .....

I have had a quick look at the route and ferries

Wednesday 22nd June ride down to Dover for dinner time ferry to Dunkirk Link to Norfolk line £42 return 2hr crossing, then ride to over night stop, near Mons where my great granfather died, grave unkown but narrowed it to two cemetaries.

Thursday 23rd June ride to Masserberg

Monday 27th June leave Masserberg and travel to overnight stop

Tuesday 28th ride to Dunkirk, ferry to Dover, Ride home.

Ormskirk to Dover 293 miles

Dunkirk to Masserberg 488 miles

What has amazed me is that Norfolk line is £42 good.gif

Not sure of the others , tried P&Ham, and Sea France, dates not available.
The chunnel is the same, not available.

Will be taking three days holiday one week and Two the next, if I push it, might take wednesday off aswell, to unpack.

So thats my thoughts.

Might try and book the ferry this weekend, if its that cheap.


I must make my mind up, above was origonal plan , but I am tempted to go on to Auschwitz ? 480 mile and would add 3 days to the trip.

Cheers, Ivan

I'd be interested in going to Auschwitz if we could do it before Germany as I have to be back at work on the 30th. Could leave on Saturday 18th. I've been to Terezin (Theresienstadt) and Bergen-Belsen before but never managed Auschwitz. Would be happy to camp if necessary.
Also just checked Eurotunnel and got a price of £50, which I thought was pretty good.

Best to get a bit psyched up for Auschwitz - it leaves you feeling numb for several hours after - and if you go, its worth going across the road to Birkenau - just as desperate...................

Hi, I'm still working on going on this trip, and was planning on coming back a similar route. Mind if I join you if I get a long pass?
MotoGuzzi Norge 1200GT. for Euro touring
Triumph Street Triple. For those hooligan moments......
Beta Alp 200. For falling off In muddy bits.

I've not booked anything yet but will probably camp. Thinking of taking an extra week and coming back via Santander, having been through 10q countries in 2 weeks. How does that fit with your plans Saga/Cats?

1992 Mk1, 76k miles, Hagon springs, MTC exhaust, 4½ gears Gone now :(

Chris, as we all live quite near to each other perhaps we need a sub committe meeting, preferably in a pub, to discuss the options and report back ... waddayathink?

I can see us ending up with several different groups and tours going on before and after the MT, and I'll want to do all of them biggrin.gif

I quite fancy the Alps on the way back but certain members of this forum are banned from some countries so that wouldn't suit all rotflmmfao.gif

I'm a bit confused now, too many options !

and Like ChrisG I want to do all of them.

But will probably do none, as it adds too much time to the overall trip.

With 4 days in germany and 2 days either side for travel, a good week is using up all my brownie points.

So I'm booking the ferry tonight for

22nd June 12.00 noon 'ish and 28th June noon'ish , Dover to Dunkirk.

Deffo going to get a satnav !

Quite like the idea of 2012 RTT in Norway but we may all be wise to ride 125's as I'm reliably informed that they are anal about 90 KPH speed limits and have loads of speed traps?
yes i heard the same ranting.gif
there aint any speed cameras that work on vehicles that are cornering (other than vascar and even thats not great on the tight twisty stuff)
so i've switched to being good on the straights and going flat out round the bends, its led to some interesting tyre wear but i'm starting to get used to drifting laugh.gif


anyway, back on topic....

for folks that only have a 1 week pass ....dont forget the MT11 runs until the sunday, so unless you want to pin the throttle wide open and sit on motorways you aint gonna get back for a ferry before tuesday 28th
