A while ago we were looking in to this (as the police said when investigating a large hole that had appeared on the M62).
What is the up to date position?
I am willing to do some of the organising/ferries etc but we need a starting block. A departure date is a good one.
I am proposing some time in the last week of January and away for 7/10/14 days. On the northbound journey however, Oscar and I would need to turn right and head for the Italian lakes - our new home!
Whilst January seems an eternity away, it is nt really.
If we book now, we will unboudtedly get better prices on the ferries/tunnel etc.
To allow for the distance travelled to the port/tunnel, I would suggest the convoy - for those wishing to travel in convoy - should start at day 2 in France at a chosen area.
Any thoughts/ideas please?

Hi Russell
All being well we should be in Spain by then and would love to attend ..
May I suggest as a minimum 14 days ...?
I know this is up to individuals but anything less would IMO be far too short for those driving from Dover and even from N Spain the expense incurred wouldn't justify having only 7 days ..jat
Yes Jim I agree - 14 days ish. It would be "quite nice" for us to head south to the sun in a convoy, but I suspect that as with the coaches when operating multiple, some would go astray, meeting up again at the destination.
Has anyone any thoughts on the destination? I am thinking of Tossa de Mar or even Lloret. I have very limited experience in Spain and so all contributions greatly received. I think the weather in Lloret would be "mild/pleasant".
Come on folks, let get our boogie buses on the road!

Did the flicker of interest go out on the last thread? I could not even find it!.......
Anyway, good luck.....Southern Spain can be a great place to be in the winter months.....I will link-up if the rally reaches Malaga area and if it does not clash with tour dates........
I will PM details of the camping site to whoever ends up "organising" it, if they wish..
Good idea and we too would be interested. Have travelled around Europe but unfortunately have no first hand experience of sites etc regarding Spain, but will follow the developments with interest.
I did start the other thread as my intention was to go for the winter period but it seems most people who showed any interest were looking at a far shorter time. and also there appeared to be some questions on the actual start dates Therefore when I looked around and found that the C&CC, run a system where you have the choice from a number of sites in both Spain and Portugal and you can chose the length of time you wish to stay at each as they have rally co-ordinators based at the sites for more or less the whole winter, which would allow you to have meets at a number of differnt places, also if you pre-book with them some of the rates they are quoting are very competertive, certainly for the site fee's. So it appeared to me that it would proberbly be better to perhaps block book something through them ??
However if you Rapide561, are willing to organise somethink seperate i will ceratinly give you any assistance that i can so please don't hesitate to ask,
We are God willing going to take a slow route down the west coast of france and through northern Spain and down through Portugal starting in Sept/Oct. so it would be great to meet up early in the new year if you finalise a rally.
