After listening to comments about last years tour being too long and the 1st draft of 2008 being a bit too long and impractical with Venice etc. I have redone the routes again. The over night stops haven't been finalised and I am open to any constructive criticism or ideas/knowledge you have on the area ie must visit places etc. The driving distances and times are a lot shorter so this gives people the choice of late lie ins or to explore more at your own pace. I have a quote for the Plymouth Santander ferry and someone asked that I get a quote for the Portsmouth Bilbao (PO ferries) we can vote on which is best. We also need to check that the 10th July is a tourist day at the ring before we progress any further.
