My 2015 trip

[Debs]

I have now decided that I am going to do my southern trip next year.. I will be away about 6 weeks starting May/June time.. This is the rough route I intend to take, spending at least 1 week in Corsica, 1 in Sardinia & 1 in Sicily..



It would be really nice if anyone wanted to come along with me, otherwise I will go on my own.

I have already checked out the ferries between the islands and it wont be that difficult to book. I won't book a ferry back to UK as I don't want to have a deadline to meet. Just go with the flow.

Milage will be about 3500 miles, not including running around visiting places.

That looks an absolute blinding adventure. You're so lucky, I had to fight tooth and nail to get a weeks tour of Scotland approved by the other half.


Six weeks....I can only dream of such a trip.

I think your scared of going 'under' or 'over' water ! 



I think that looks a fantastic trip Debs, and I take my hat off to you for organising and planning such a trip.
A trip I could quite easily do, but not in 6 weeks.....3 weeks would be enough for me as I don't like staying in one place too long.....
Hope it happens for you.....

Looks like a great trip. Make sure you do a ride report on here with plenty of pics.

Always fancied a trip to Italy myself, been in the works for yonks.

You must have a excellent employer to allow time off like that, my lot would go bonkers.

I think 6 weeks is good if you can manage it as although I like riding my bike I enjoy sucking up the local culture and YES to those who've met me the local wine food lol

Debs if possible 12 weeks would be ideal taking in the Southern European summer

I don't work Alan 

I looked in the mirror.. Asked if I could go away, and she replied yes... That's good enough for me.. 

I love being single

fab trip debs and so envious that you can get away and finance such a trip with no job !!

we go to Europe each year around june so if it co-incided with you we would be happy to do the route down through france.

do you camp or hotels ?

[Debs]

Im going to mostly do camping to keep the cost down.. I may spoil myself now and again on the way and stay in a hotel.. 

[Rusty]

That is going to be just soooper Debs .... Good on you ! Terrific stuff ....

If you want to keep your cost down try wild camping and even better, if you want to meet other travellers/locals (even bikers) have a look at couchsurfer and/or a good hostel.

[Debs]

Thank you Stephen..

Im not one for using hostels or peoples couches.. I would rather be outside in the wilds... 

The only problem would be taking the GTR off road to find a nice secluded place to camp.

LOL, it's only called couchsurfer... most people have guest bedrooms (some with ensuite facilities) and many hosts will take you around all the best local hot spots off the tourist trail. There is quite a big motorcycle group within the couchsurfer community too.

I know what you mean about taking the GTR off road but not all wild camp spots need a dirt bike. A lot of great wild camp spots I've used could have been accessed on my GTR. I'm sure whatever you decide you'll have a great time.
