UK Tour......?

[John w]

Hi,

Would anyone be interested in joining a 'South of England Tour'?
Dates 27-30 April '07. Start and finish point near the EuroTunnel/Shuttle, Folkestone, UK.
Dates are fixed. Hotels will be arranged to match the number of riders.
No rain - bring only a T-shirt and cool shades

Let me know if you are interested.

Hi john ,

can you tell us any prices??

Hi Jorg,

I cannot tell you any prices at the moment. I am just suggesting a tour can take place if there are riders who would like to visit the UK.

Nothing is booked yet - only my time off work. This means all routes may change a little. I am happy to arrange hotels for 26/27/28/29 June, once I know how many riders would like to come over here. I will contact the hotels and make provisional bookings that you must confirm with them later, before the trip. I will provide you with all the details when I have found suitable places. I usually confirm bookings via e-mail when I travel to Europe and then pay with Visa when leaving the hotel. I think this is the best way to pay.

My idea for the 'South of England Tour'
is something like this..........

DAY 1 Friday 27th Meet up with Euro Bulldog riders near the Eurotunnel/shuttle. Ride across the south coast to the Isle of Wight for an overnight stop.

DAY 2 Sat 28th ride along the coast as far as Torquay for overnight stop.

DAY 3 Sun 29th ride north across Dartmoor national park and then east across to Salisbury or Winchester for overnight stop.

DAY 4 Mon 1st May return to Euro Tunnel for 14.00 crossing.

It will be easy riding, mostly avoiding highways and making stops in various places for coffee/photos/etc. I will find good roads for bikers!

I hope that is enough info for you for now!

Don't hesitate, we will do our very best for a trip in the UK!! I'm sure.
But for my person, I need a lttle bit of time, because the vacancy-plan of work will be signed by january for the whole year '07.

Ho, Ho, Ho, Wolf, Merry Christmas!

It would be good if some of you can make the trip! I understand about the vacancy-plan difficulties - I have mine booked already
Do not worry there is no hurry! I will put more information on this post early in 2007.
I must go now - it's time for another beer!

Best Wishes,

John

***See also the Euro Bulldog Forum - there are some guys there who are thinking of coming over via the Eurotunnel***

hi john,
very exciting - especially this one most unusual inn with its lots of bars ...
but after a very (!!!) short talk with my minestry of finance i havent't got any "time" to join you ...

but i'm looking forward to joining you maybe another time.
we've got two children to be placed during our absence and so we need a little more time to plan such a journey - and collect the money we'd need ...

i'll appreciate you keeping us informed through this forum!

cheers!

Hi Wulldee,

If it goes well I will try to plan another tour for about the same time next year. It would be good if you could join in then. I cannot make plans much earlier because of work and getting annual leave dates approved.

I would not be happy if I arranged a tour for everyone and then found I couldn't make it!

I will try to get my final plan completed a month or so earlier next time.

Best wishes,

John w

Hi John,

what about the tour? Is there anyone who will join it?
I´m very sad, the policeman sandro is on duty that weekend, no chance for holiday
But my friend "Alois" (Yamaha R6) is very interested.
A few years ago, he made a UK-Tour with some Triumph-riders and he is still very enthusiastic about England.
So if You start the tour and no-bulldog-drivers are allowed, please let me know soon...


best regards,
sandro

[John w]

Hi Sandro,

Sorry you cannot come on the tour. Someone must fight crime at the weekend

Of course Alois is welcome to join us. Anyone may join in - it does not matter what they ride! There are only 5 or 6 Bulldog riders so an extra rider would be good!

To make reservations in the hotels (4) see the links I have put on the tour schedule. Any problems - my e-mail address is there in the post. One hotel(Yenton) ask for a deposit of £15. If Alois cannot pay this because of the usual banking difficulties I will pay and he can pay me later. No problem!

There are also two riders coming from Holland. Maybe they could meet up for the ride in?

I have ordered good weather for the weekend

Hope to see you again at the 4th Int. Bulldog Treffen.

Best Wishes ~ John w

Hey Sandro,

I nearly forgot! See the post 'South Of England Tour - Full Details' for the schedule.
