There seems to be quite a lot of interest in road trips across the forum. Would it be a good idea to have a sub section to bring everyone's posts together and to allow people to post their trips in. It would make it easier for everyone to find ideas on what they want to do, to get hints on places to visit along the route of their intended trip and give those new to the idea of a road trip an interesting resource and a spur to get on the road. I for one am not great at searching through posts and am sure i would find it easier to get info if all was lumped together. Although i have been doing driving trips around europe and some in North and South America, for the last 25 years i have seen mention of some beautiful places that i haven't been to, i'm sure there are more on here that i haven't found the posts for. What do people think?
 
Nice idea :thumbsup: after my mini road trip through France last year and my many trips to Le-Mans i think more people will be made aware of what they are missing
 
Thanks guys, great to hear from the like minded. I don't know how hard it would be to have this set up or whether it will be seriously considered but i hope it may happen. :)
 
Am i out of line in asking a moderator if this is something that can be considered? 6 members in all may not seem like a lot but it's kind of a field of dreams thing: 'build it and they will come' :)
 
I think this would be a great idea, sadly I won't be able to contribute but this is why I think it will be a great idea as it will allow me to pick up ideal routes and hopefully, this summer I'll be able to take the zed for a nice long road trip!
 
Well here's a teaser and i know taz amongst others is planning a trip this year. I am just putting together a trip; a dash through Belgium into Germany to stay at a castle on the Rhine, across to Wurzburg or close by to drive down the 'Romantic Road', ending up at Lake Constance, from there visiting Castle Neuschwanstein as we go across into Austria to Salzburg for a few days then south into Italy to skirt Lake Garda and across to Lake Maggiore, poss stay in Mantua on the way. Then into Provence for a week before heading back to Calais. I'm sure if i search posts hard enough I'll find some info from other peoples past trips but what do i choose to search for? It would be great if i could scan one section of the forum and narrow it down. And yes photos are great in threads; they bring the trip to life as you read of someone else's adventure. I've been really impressed with some of the photos of scotland, sadly i haven't been yet and these have given me the urge to plan something. Longer term I am hoping to drive the beast (car that is not wife, although she'll be coming) to Norway and Sweden but i think i'll need to wangle a three week break for that one.
:driving: :thumbsup:
 
Having to go end of august to beginning of september, Mrs Roofless' work rota kind of dictates somewhat and it does mean we'll be in Provence once the main french holidays are finished. The water should be hot but the weather just getting past the hottest, last year we were stuck on the italian autostrada for an hour with roof down in 36 degree heat, scorchio as they say. Yes i know i could have put the roof up but it just goes against the grain :)
 
There seems to be some road trip queries coming up all of a sudden and i'm sure, remembering some posts previously, good answers and info already exist on the site, forgive my persistence in banging the drum for this idea but is a road trip section not a good idea to pool all this priceless info within?
I will desist after this post in asking the question any more i promise (fingers crossed behind back :) )
