Stu McCarthy is putting together a trip to Germany next summer (likely to be mid to late May 11 to 12 days) and has put together an itinerary and likely costs. Please see footnotes also.
Gengenbach
(Costs per person)
DFDS Ferry South Shields – Amsterdam (Ijmuiden)….…….£350
Assuming 2 persons sharing twin cabin.
Amsterdam to Eifel Region, Germany………190 miles
Single room B&B at recommended hotel…………………….…..£70
Eifel to Sankt Goar (Rhine)……………………..120 miles
(via Nürburgring & Mosel valley)
Single room B&B at recommended hotel………………………..£70
Sankt Goar via Rhine Valley to BlackForest..160 miles
Single room B&B Gengenbach 4 nights…………………………£370
Gengenbach to Vianden (Luxembourg)…….190 miles
Single room B&B at recommended hotel…………………………£70
Vianden to Eifel Region……………………………110 miles
(Option to call in at Bastogne or FC Moto store)
Single room at recommended hotel…………………………………£70
Eifel to Ijmuiden ferry………………………………190 miles
Prices are of course an estimate for a trip either early (May) or late (Sept)summer.
Total costs £1000pp. which can be reduced somewhat for those willing to share.
Mileage will be around 1500+…. to include trips around the Black Forest area. Evening meals and food on ferry not included.
All hotels are of a high quality and have safe bike parking
If it goes ahead I envisage that I can make all the neccessary bookings quite easily….done it loads of times before. All members need to do is provide some relevant details (names, dob, bike & reg etc) plus a bank transfer.
Most of the hotels or locations I have visited before and can confirm they are of a high standard. The main hotel in Gengenbach even has a spa for guests.
The ferry bookings need to be done by, or just after, New Year in order to ensure we get the cabins we want, plus the early booking discount of course (usually 20%).
