Re: Tankslap Euro 2019
If we've got time at any point could we swing across to Autun? We might have time from Orleans to Dijon. The road from Nevers to Autun looks decent on the map and it's in the Morvan.
No worries if it makes the day long, it's just somewhere I would like to see.

Re: Tankslap Euro 2019
It says it takes 5 minutes to issue an IDP and costs £5.50 which is hardly a show stopper to be fair.duke63 wrote:No deal isn't going to make this easy is it?

Didn't we pay £30 odd for a permit to ride through Switzerland 4 or 5 years back.

Re: Tankslap Euro 2019
Its the thin end though. What happens about medical and vehicle insurance? No one has a clue.

Re: Tankslap Euro 2019
No worries. As I mentioned, it's all guesswork until April. We'll sort the finer details out then.
For now I want to think about riding on some nice quiet roads in the sunshine.

Re: Tankslap Euro 2019
I need something to look forward to. Who is still in for this?
I realise its probably still waiting for the **** in Parliament to decide whether they intend wrecking this Country or not and i don't intend booking a ferry until we know what's happening. But......

Re: Tankslap Euro 2019
When they changed your ferry bookings for this month did they offer a refund to, Cookie?
Hotels etc we can cancel usually if needs be but ferrys i don't know what their policy would likely be on this.

Re: Tankslap Euro 2019
Yes. My bike insurers still will not commit to whether there will be additional charges but we will worry about that later. My renewal is due this month anyway.

Re: Tankslap Euro 2019
Slightly off subject but I'm just renewing my car insurance and it gave me an option to have European driving cover for an additional premium. I dont remember this being a chargeable option previouslyduke63 wrote:Yes. My bike insurers still will not commit to whether there will be additional charges but we will worry about that later.

Re: Tankslap Euro 2019
Brexit. We will be working under different regulations after 29 March.
I think Kwacky mentioned that unless there is some agreement, then UK lawyers will no longer be able to act for you in the event of an accident in Europe.
