Thinking outloud

Thinking out loud here all numbers approximates


Calais to Morzine about 600 miles


Channel ferry Van + 2 passengers £170 rtn
Car + 4 passengers £ 70 rtn .over night crossings


Fuel Van about 35 -40 mpg = 18 gallons @ £5 each way £180 total
car 40 - 50 mpg = 14 gallons @£5 each way £140

Tolls Van 220 euros rtn £190
Car 140 euro rtn £120


Based on 6 people £145 travel costs plus bit extra for breakdown cover and car insurnace for europe



http://www.rushadventures.co.uk/booking_s.aspx Fully catered 3 july £325 with lift pass

http://www.flowmtb.com/morzine/morzine-catered/ Fully Catered 3 july 475 euros no lift pass


most places I have looked are between £300 - 500 per week for catered, Breafast, afternoon tea, Evening dinner 6 nights out of 7





At moment easyjet flights workout at about £140 with bike carraige as far as I can tell but Im sure there will be some more extras for booking in plus the baggage monkeys get to throw your bike around and if 6 people fly Im sure they will be pretty pissed off once bike number 6 comes down the conveyor!

Phew! If my mental arithmetic is right, that's £610 each for 6 days cycling in Morzine. Anybody have any idea what Scotland worked out at?

Hi all

Scotland

cant quite remember how much I spent in total in the end, but this was my budget for Scotland last year:-

accommodation £160
transport £65 (based on 2 people sharing a car and includes travel between trail centers)

on top of that you have food, misc broken/forgotten bike parts, mozzi repellent etc...

Morzine

Morzine would be an awesome adventure. So if you are thinking of putting together a trip out there , then I'm interested!
Generally flying with your bike is not too much of an issue if you package it up well, but driving would be so much more interesting.

I would be interested in this road trip, any idea about some dates?

Well Im off to the alps for a week from the 26th June to 3rd July which takes in the Passportes du soleil event on the Sunday
