  2. I love camping, and like to be totally self sufficient. Here's what I took to Spa last year on the Radical Pantah. I fitted a steel tank for the tank bag, and a cheapo car satnav with european maps fits onto the speedo glass using a windscreen mount ;-) My Elefant has all the boxes and TomTom rider, and I'll be loading tht up for WDW this year. As I live 15 mins from the Channel Tunnel we sometimes get over for a days riding in France. Head West along the coast towards Normandy if you've only got a day, some nice routes along the coast :upyeah:

  3. Just allow 2 days each way, and however much time you want to stay there.

  4. Good way of looking at it. So 2 weeks is good then? As I imagine 100 miles on those mountain roads is a push eh?

  5. Depends. 100-150 is plenty, for sure, but I've not stayed in the area, only passed through, so my days off-motorway tend to be around the 300 mark.

  11. That looks seriously hard core :eek:

    I wouldn't put anything larger than a tiny rucksack on my back whilst on two wheels.

  12. I drove that area a few years ago and it is seriously good. Looking forward to going there on two wheels hopefully later this year.
