My Road Trip 2012

[anonymous-user]

Thought Id Share this, this is a road trip planned and booked, that me, my mates and my gf will be doing across Europe this summer. Where kicking off at the north of England down to dover, Calais to lyon then a stop over there to the south and a few days there then off to the stelvio pass then off on up to eiterfeld, then amsterdam and finally back to the UK. Here are some of my calculations and sites Ive used for help. Hope it can help anyone else. Ive viewed many threads and tried my best to modify the routes along some of the best roads the EU has to offer however money has a factor with this.
