Outline Information on Proposed Sardinia Tour 2010
The Bevan Motorcycles R.A.T. Pack, Cardiff, has organised successful 2-week Pack summer tours for the last 4 years. These have included south-west Ireland, the west coast of Scotland, northern Spain and most recently, a 2-week tour over the French Alps to Nice and return via the Route Napoleon and the wine regions of Burgundy and Champagne. The tours all include pre-booked accommodation at boutique-style hotels, with a number of free-days included to allow participants to relax and see some of the places where we stop. A comprehensive briefing pack is provided to each participant, including daily routecards and fully marked-up Michelin touring maps.
For 2010, we are planning a 2-week tour down through France and across to Genoa in Italy, to catch the overnight ferry to the Italian island of Sardinia. We are planning to base ourselves at a coastal resort (possibly Alghero in the north west of Sardinia) for three nights and then take the one-hour ferry crossing to trhe French island of Corsica, where we plan to stop for another three nights near Bastia. Corsica is almost the perfect holiday destination, basking in the mediterranean sunshine, with perfect beaches, magnificent mountain scenery, fine towns and villages that simply belong in the surrounding landscape. Corsica enjoys a typical Mediterranean climate, with summers being hot and dry. From there, we will take the 5-hour morning ferry crossing to Nice or Marseilles, before heading north through the Massif Central and Bourgogne regions on our way back to Calais. The holiday will be planned to leave Cardiff on Saturday 29th May and return to Cardiff on Monday 14th June 2010.
The likely cost of this proposed 2-week holiday has not yet been assessed, but based on the cost of this years 2-week tour to Nice, it is likely to be in the region of 1500 euros for 2 people on one bike (based on 2 people sharing double or twin-bedded rooms), or 1700 euros for 2 riders on 2 bikes, sharing a twin-bedded room (i.e. 850 euros each). For a single rider who wants single accommodation, the cost is likely to be in the region of 1250 euros. These costs should include all ferries and 15 night's accommodation (mostly on B&B basis). The proposed costs do not include petrol, tolls, lunches or drinks.
If you are seriously interested in joining us for this planned holiday, please contact Chris Finch at Bevan Motorcycles, Cardiff, as soon as possible, so that we can gauge the level of support and therefore the accommodation requirements. Telephone 02920 227477 or e-mail rat@bevanmc.co.uk
