One Epic Euro Road-Trip - Full Report

[badgerbite]

fantastic stuff guys!

I'm doing a similar trip next week - yay!

question: Did you have jerry cans or were fuel stop a plently?

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

I had one, but never used it lol! There were always loads of petrol stations, we tried to fill up when it was convenient, I think the lowest the tank got in the whole trip was just above quarter for me.

But Neil on the other hand running his ITBs....bit different! His fuel light went on as he left to do his last lap of the ring!

 

[maynard]

excellent write up Dan, looks like you guys had a great time!

What was the name of the campsite you stayed in Bruges?

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

I'd have to let you know that tonight when I have a look at my holiday pack that Dave gave us all (not kidding!)

 

[bomber]

Bruges was Camping Memling. they dont really like groups and we had to pay via paypal prior to attending.

nice little campsite, no bog roll supplied though

I'm off on a 2 week trip around europe doing ~3000miles next month. Planning on stopping at a mix of camp-sites and doing a few youth hostels in some cities.

Any tips/things not to forget? lol

Also, what European breakdown cover did you guys go with? (I've got a separate thread on it in General Chat)

 

[jezer101]

When and where is everyone else posting up their pics?

Good pics dan, i'm guessing are faces all look messed up from photoshopping them?

 

[Gray]

I went for AA breakdown cover, it seemed to most comprehensive and cheapest (after I called and haggled )

 

[bomber]

i had RAC cover as i got discount being a member and doing it online.

jez, my pics are s**t compared to dans, they will get put on a dvd this weekend and sent out to everyone though, a few may pop onto here

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

I risked not having breakdown cover, I had faith in the old girl

That don't matter Dave! Get 'em uploaded!

 

[The Boosh!]

I will put mine up later on!

 

[Gray]

I took 4 photos on my iPhone... But I wont post them up, they are so amazing it would steal all the Lime Light from Dan's shots

 

[Liquid yellow 182]

Great read! must take some planning

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

Yeh it did, but we got Dave to do it all!

Love you Dave

 

[Gray]

Chief Holiday rep, Dave! we love him

Cant believe i missed this.

Some parts of it are a carbon copy of my road trip last year.

The views of the furka pass trigger so many memories - we turned left and did the grimselpass instead.

Loads of memories coming back from looking at those pictures.

Awesome stuff.
