I am planning a ride down to the South of France next summer possibly in July or August. Prob camping. Any one interested. I will be traveling from York and spending about 10 days or so. Get back if you fancy a trip down south and a bit of sun.


Go for it. It'll be a gas! I do a similar thing in June each year on my Speedy. Most recently Normandy ('06)then Barcelona ('07) and June '08 will be Venice. Don't miss the Millau bridge on your way down to the South (or back). It's a cracker ! Otherwise, try to keep off the Paeages, as they're a bit boring and quite expensive (sorry if that's a bit obvious). The A roads are much more interesting.
Of course, if anyone fancies joining me and my regular mate next June, you're very welcome too. Usually about 10 days and this time will take in the Grosse Glockner and Brenner pass, as well as an Opera at Verona's open air Roman Colloseum (did Aida for my 50th and just have to go back, even though I'm a Philistine). We camp and keep it as cheap as possible. We don't book anything in advance, except ferry tickets.
I would have jumped at the Euro rally, except I'm always away with the family in July/August.
