Visitor
We are excited to announce a trip to the Alps for 2026 and after discussions with many of you it seems you would like to do something a little different. We are looking at routes currently and can promise some interesting roads and experiences for the event. At this stage we are trying to deliver the event on a budget similar to the last couple and you can mark a date for your calendars, currently the event will be from the 26th September to 3rd October 2026 (hotel space allowing). The daily mileages will be slightly shorter although this is a driving holiday and we do want to cover the pretty and twisty roads on route. We will be meeting in Dover for the ferry but those wishing to meet the other side will join us in Reims for our first night. Please see the below route outline. The plan is to finish in Barden-Barden in Germany for a reasonably short hop back to the UK. The event is now full but if you wish to be added to a reserve list please email Justin Ridyard
