Mad it may be worth checking with Matt but i am sure he said that there is some kind of music festival near him around April, might be worth tying it in with the trip :)
Aye we had a chat ta but i also need to fit it in with the German season start so not sure if both will match up. So choice between some of the best biking roads with German beer or Dutch beer n music..hmmmmmm
I'm a biker first
I had a chat with Matt earlier folks so the first night coming off the ferry will be in Veldehoven with Matt who will then be joining us for rest of tour This also makes for a nice break in mileage to Germany.
You should try and be in Holland for 30th April!!! Biggest street parties in the world and LOTS of drinking. Every city is lined with Orange. There's 15 music stages in Eindhoven alone with different music on each one.
U really should try and be here for then if you can. Do that for a day then we trundle on into Germany.
why is it too late mate? Surely they'd agree to a change of date with same price.
I also know someone with a very large house in a forrest around the South of Germany... it's a big holiday home that he rents out. I think it can hold around 20 people! Would you like me to find out about it?
Also - check here for a BikerMatch P&O Ferries discount...

I arranged it just today. If we have more than 20 people traveling I can organise a special group travel discount/arrangement. As a group I can probably get it for around 50 quid each way if everyone is sharing as few rooms as possible (4 berth inside cabin). Then you land just 1 hour from my house and don't have to go all the way to dover, up through Belgium etc.
Sat Hull ferry overnight to Holland (ferry n beer) Sun Matts for barbie Monday Matt takes us out to party Tues-Fri Germany Fri/Sat Belgium's Biker Loft hotel Sat Ferry and Home
If this is ok with Matt that is as think better we get in a settled before the party rather than arriving on same day. Sunday is always a good day for barbie n beer.
Would you guys prefer South Germany and see if Matt can organise the place to stay... or where I stay at same place as last year ? I plan on doing different roads next year so any returnees will get to see some new and old roads.
It will be a great week just u guys are paying for it and I need to know what you want so i can go sort it. I'm more than happy to sort what I do like I do same as last year as it went down a storm.
Could we make a list of who wants to come that week as Matt can do 20 I can do up 60 (I'm Scottish size matters lol). We had 11 last year which was a great size so no worries
I'm still up for this (if it is still going ahead)... I am happy to potentially be going away with my bike - so, I really don't mind what the plans are.
I just need some definite set dates so that I can book them off work around my colleagues (it can be a bit of a fight - so the earlier I can book the better)...
Deb Edinburgh to Hull is almost same mileage as from Bournemouth although Dover is nearer for you. You will have to do more mileage from France though so if it was me I'd rather go with group and chill out on ferry then on me own at Dover.
We had a riot last year and you just need to look at the pics to see what you have in store
