  1. Think my time scales might be problematic as I’m wanting to head out in May.

    Might re plan and do Calais to Vianden and then off to the ring and surrounding areas.
     
  2. French Motorail stopped running a service a couple of years ago (sadly)

  3. I tend to get off the autoroute and use departmente roads to Langres. Stay the night and then go via jura mountains. Hook round by Cern to avoid going into nazi swiss land. Then wind my way via Annecy. But thats on bikes.

    Edit: there are so many wonderful roads on way to alps, you wouldnt wish to miss them. My fave is up over jura's from Champagnole and down into Gex.

  4. There must be a good route to travel by car
    Who wants to fly :thinkingface:
     
  5. As said, trying to get my mates who make Boris look organised sorted is proving an impossible task.

    Think I’ll be shortening the trip to Vianden and The ring

  6. Believe post brexit there are problems with import and export fees if you are using a transport company and not accompanying your vehicle.

    Alternative - could be ferry to Santander or Bilbao and then Picos mountains and / or Pyrenees? Ferry back or blast up thru France?

  7. Ah !
     
  8. Rent a box car trailer thingy, hook up to the VW and off you go.
     
  9. with three to four cars in it…
     
  10. You can only drive one at a time so don't be greedy and just take one car!!
     
  11. If I’m only to take the one car, how does one tow said car with only one car..
     
  12. One would tow it with the van as noted in my pervious comment with reference to VW.
     

  13. So two automobiles then.

    just checking
     
  14. And a box trailer for completeness
