European DelSol RoadTrip 2011!!
Posted: Sat Jan 22, 2011 12:09 am
We’ve been thinking that what the dsuk community needs and deserves is a small holiday – a small breakaway from the daily grind doing something we all love doing and have in common; driving our del sols, roof down, amongst friendly banter and awesome scenery
So, with that said – who would be up for a long weekend away camping (or B&B) through France during the summer this year?
The details have not been arranged, the date has not been arranged – but one thing is for certain – I’M doing this even if it’s me on my todd!!
There’s a possibility we could hook up with the French Del Sol club at one of their meets, but again this will all depend on times and locations etc. Also, the Prelude UK gang (and I hear Civic-Life and Accord forum) are organising a trip to the Ring – it may be possible to meet up or be part of the convoy if dates co-incide.
The trip will be planned with a very tight budget in mind! The most expensive cost will be fuel, but that’s cheaper in France anyway If we camp, then that’s the accommodation sorted. Food won’t be too much if we bbq etc. and we’ll book the ferry (or Eurostar) in advance to get discounts (am currently looking into costs). We’ll pick a pretty route to drive through and stop off points with great scenery to take photo’s. Maybe pop to the beach or find a museum/amusement park or something for one of the days too.
I don’t mind looking into all the good locations and planning everything, as I said, I intend on doing this anyway - but if anyone is truly interested in getting a DSUK tour together please generate your interest here! I had Friday to Monday in mind sometime in July or August, so 2 days off work – unless we work it into a bank holiday weekend. Would be so cool driving across Europe with a few UK sols (and other Hondas possibly) together
