Well if then come down through Serbia and into Bulgaria up through Romania (you said the long way round) look us up. We have a spare bed and a garage for the stead. Other point, I never worry about camp sites at all at 5 ish I simply pull off the main road and find a quiet spot. Never been hassled of moved on in any European country yet!

Thanks for the information and your very kind offer captinktm. The reason that I am going down to the bottom of France and over the Alps is because the gps co- ordinates on the bodywork of the Transalp are for the Col de la Bonnette Pass and I would like to take the bike "home" :blink: I am a little concerned about "wild camping" on my own but if need be I will.

Nick.

Why are you concerned about wild camping, I do nothing else, what are you worried about?

I suppose it's because I've done it many times in my campervan and have had one or two incidents. Nothing serious but enough to keep me awake for sometime. I presume that when you do it with the bike you can get off the beaten path to somewhere that's more isolated?

The trick on the bike is to turn off the main road (or the road you're on) and take a side road and then turn off that to camp-that way you're off the radar. I take a camo'd bike cover to blend in with the countryside, result an undisturbed night's sleep

Bernard, I've been in touch with the owner of the Bikers Camp, Budapest and have booked in for 3 nights. Good price and location. Thanks for telling me about it.

You'll find my sticker of 'Touching the World' amongst the others (thumbs)

I was there last year for the Sziget music festival all week. It's a great city and so inexpensive. Think I may go to the festival again for a couple days.
Have fun

Been to Budapest loads of times, my son was there in college for 6 years. Niece is there now too. Its a fabulous city, a lot to see and inexpensive too.

I have driven over too. If you are doing the drive motorway tolls in France are savage, cheaper to land as far east as you can.
