It was an awesome trip and worked well for those who hadn't been abroad and or any touring before. Great b&b to. Up for this again. Don't mind some putting together to help out. Though not too difficult, I managed it last time apart from the cash....

It would be worth having a look at the threads from the Last trip Pete, to get a rough idea.

HI all have had a reply from http://www.mototaranis.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; today

Hi Mark

How you doing? At the moment any time in September 2016 is available but it is a month that tends to get busy so the earlier you can cofirm dates the better, we haven't sorted out prices for next year yet but they won't be very different from this year, we do a group discount for a minimum of 6 people and the maximum we can take would be 10 people.

Let us know if you have certain dates in mind.

Take care and ride safe

Ken & Lesley

so if anyone is really interested please let me know will also look at approx ferry/ tunnel costs :8o)):

Count me in for sure Mark.
Also reckon that the ferry is the best option as tunnel seems cheaper as crossings go but people aren't keen to do the kind of mileages involved. It's be 2 days to get there, and 2 days back, then any riding there. The day over including early ferry, is a good trip for those who haven't tried touring before or are at all unsure.

Ni Hi jacking this thread, just as someone has mentioned that they might like to do something this year. Here's the thread for the Germany trip I'm throwing together in September.

hi all just been looking at ferry prices ( this years for an approx. price) Poole cherbourg I would allow 120/150 notes for this add on to this 4 or 5 five nights accommodation depending on if you single is 50 euros twin or double 70 and a triple 100 I guess you could cut costs if you share (what happens on tour stays on tour!!!!)
Ferry 120/150
B&B 200/250 euro
Breakdown cover rac 45ish
Fuel 200
Beer and coffee spends 80

will need 50 deposit
