Does anyone have any suggestions of where is friendly to ride and a good biker B&B or hotel along the way?

Would also be interested in your opinions on ferry vs. eurtunnel for cost/comfort (not that I like long dark tunnels.... nor ships that make me go green either but I guess one of them is going to be necessary!)

How about Holland? I know a great Glasgow girl, Linny. She runs a B&B for Bikers over there. She has a really good web site, with all sorts of help and advice on the best, and cheapest ways of getting over there, and really takes care of you when you're there...suggests all sorts of routes etc.

or, for a short & economical trip, you could try getting on the ferry at Southampton.........

across to the Isle of Wight!

cant get lost there as the island isnt that big, deals for under £100 for at least 3 nights full board - including ferry too!! Going from Southampton takes longer too.....

they speak the same language, drive on the same side, and there are one or 2 nice roads thrown in...

Just an idea to throw your way, if you have 2 or 3 days to spare....

sorry, I'll get my coat...

Methinks a Harley would be more appropriate.
