I think the idea was to end at the Goodwood FOS.I keep telling people but nobody will listen. Doing a Roadtrip in Ukania is a really bad idea, particularly at the traditional time of late July/early August when anything resembling a decent road will be chock full of caravans, motor homes and Zafiras bulging with whining, puking children.
This country basically has a few tiny enclaves of great roads separated by gridlock, there are Gatsos bloody everywhere, fuel and beer are not cheap and most campsites are full of the kind of people you really don't want to get into a conversation with unless you want to partake in line-dancing or wife-swapping.
See here for the expanded argument.....
Well, it'll be probably too expensive, especially with the idea of buying sub 500 quid topless beaters locally.I keep telling people but nobody will listen.

I think I will be on the Plan B trip as well. The idea of spending a week or so of my vacation on British roads has no appeal whatsoever.Well, it'll be probably too expensive, especially with the idea of buying sub 500 quid topless beaters locally.
I'd like plan B to be something on the french/italian alpine passes, with a return leg through schwarzwald. Possibly starting in Slovenia again and then continuing into italy, france, then germany and ending at the ring campsite.
You'd be missing out then. They have some of the greatest passes on the alps, both driving and scenery-wise. And all things aren't that expensive there (food is one thing that is though). Also, while I still prefer Alps in general compared to any other place I've been to so far, I prefer going to new places. Never been to UK, which is the main reason why I suggested it..I have no desire whatsoever to drive through switzerland. That coould end with us in jail and broke.
Don't say I didn't warn you. Happy to help with the planning though. And fuck Scotland. The English Lake District is where it's at.And Alps are filled with cyclists, and Germany is one big construction site, and Norway is going to make you broke and they'll put you in jail for speeding, and in eastern Europe you're going to be murdered and potholes will destroy your car... Come on, Matt, don't be a buzzkillWe'll cross your shitty country eventually and will have fun in Scotland. There are always redeeming qualities.
That sounds like fun: Drive through Germany without using the Autobahn. No tourist would ever get that idea, since they all want to go on ze unrestricted AutobahnGerman B-roads this year were awesome.
OI! I object to that, we don't have that many potholesand in eastern Europe you're going to be murdered and potholes will destroy your car...
I'd love a grand german roadtrip on b-roads only.That sounds like fun: Drive through Germany without using the Autobahn. No tourist would ever get that idea, since they all want to go on ze unrestricted Autobahn
But do you think of a grand tour that covers all the major landscapes from North to South and West to East or do you want specific destinations on the way, for instance the Autostadt Wolfsburg or The Miniatur Wunderland in Hamburg? I could be of assistance in planning, if needed. I've been up and down the country during my time in the air force.
