Would Anyone Be Intrested In Doing......

I'm defo up for France next year :thumbup:

Bit of a update :wink:

Been looking in detail at possible routes over the alps

There appear to be loads of routes all over the alps on memory map

Been looking at the French alps right next to the Italian boarder

This trip is going to be ace

So start saving people as you don't want to miss it :wink:

Hi Colley

Any idea of dates yet as I'm looking at doing France, Spain and north morocco end of September early October next year with the 4x4 overland guys that were at the show this year.

Gary I was planning to go between November and January next year mate :wink:

I like the sound of your trip mate

how long you planning on going for mate???
If there's room I could be interested in going :wink:

Your going to need a few frontys to tow all them land rovers :lol:

I'm looking at going for 3weeks spending a week driving down through France stopping off in Andorra then going into Spain off road over the old smugglers route then driving down to Malaga and meeting the other guys there for 2weeks in north east morocco then back up to Santander or Bilbao then ferry home.
We have 3 vehicles going from this country and are meeting another guy in Malaga who has a garage there who is travelling down with us after any fettling that needs doing
There's always room for you matey if your up for it.
If you can't get the 3 weeks off you could always ferry down to Spain and meet up in Malaga and do the 2 weeks

I am in talks with the boss mate :wink:

don't no if she will let me do two European trips in one year, but will let
you no :wink:

It's sounds like a great trip mate

Have you got any idea on cost mate?

No idea of costs yet but apart from spending money preparing the 2.2 I'm looking to do it as cheap as possible without missing out too much.

For me I reckon on around £1000 on fuel and ferry costs for the vehicle which split between two people is not too expensive, food I would have to buy if I stayed at home the only other costs would be camping and with France's network of aire's and wild camping most nights in Morocco it's going to be far cheaper than the holiday err in doors has me on at the moment

One thing on the fuel front cost wise taking a detour through Andorra filling the truck and two Gerry cans should cost about £60 to £70 enough for about 400 to 600 road miles depending on how the times going and if I need to push on or drive at a steady pace so Spain done for less than £100 pounds

I can now confirm that this trip will take place in the last week in January 2014

I am planning on going for 10 days including traveling to and from the alps.
There should be plenty of snow about

That gives everyone who would like to come time to start saving :wink:

Now that date has made this an almost doable event for me bud!! Best start saving and see how i go :thumbup:

.
What do you estimate the costs to be pal??

I will start saving now :thumbup:

Don't forget the tunnel takes tesco points :thumbup:

I'm in

Might get beatings from Laura as its Elise's birthday on the 22nd :oops:

Hey Colley you still looking to do this early 2014 ?

Yes mate January :wink:

Camping in January in the Alps :crazy:

I expect most of the routes may well be out of action when it snows there it doesent muck about it tends to get 6 foot deep, and I don't care how much of a lift you've got you're not going far in that much snow lol

Don't worry Gary ill be there to dig through it. As for the camping we be fine just get a leisure battery with a converter on and run a heater all night, then charge it again through the day

see I got it all planned out :roll:
