Firstly: Sorry for the americanism.Now, onto the post proper. Next year I quite fancy going on a fairly long camping holiday in the summer. I also fancy going around Europe. Preferably in the Golf if I can convince it to be suitably reliable.Anyway, the route I've just scribbled on Google maps goes here (Nottingham) to Dover, on to France via some sort of tunnel or ferry, down to the south of France, over the Alps, into Italy, then Slovenia, Hungary, Cz, Wolfsburg, the Ring and home. However, that does boil down to near on 4000 miles, or 200 miles a day. I suspect that might be taking the piss a bit (I'd guess at around 4 hours in the car if I drive every day).OTOH, knock off Slovenia, Hungary and Cz and you take about 700 miles off, which would make the driving more manageable, considering as there'd be some need to stop and camp and sit on the beach some days etc. My bird will be present so constant driving will not be acceptable. P'raps it's better to do 1000 miles in a day rather than do 200 miles every day for a week...What say the road trip boys (this means you Dan)? And anyone who's been to XYZ and can say "That place is an effing shite hole, you'd rather be in Rotherham".
