    OK, here's my pitch :

    300 mls south east of Dieppe in Central France

    Beautiful quiet roads in the Creuse and Auvergne

    Beautiful lunches average 13.50€ for 4 courses and wine

    Lakes, forests and rivers

    Camping grounds dead cheap, gites available (will check-out bunk style accom if interested)

    A chance to polish your linguistic skills with the Aigurande girls

    Three bars in the village with good beer, coffee, even TEA !!!!

    Great place to visit and ride bikes, was not too far from you a few weeks ago biglad, Tours, Oradour, Limoges and then headed for La Rochelle. But the roads we were on around Tours-Limoges were fantastic.

    If your suggestion for the GMU to be held in France goes ahead I really hope I can attend, great idea.

    I agree but the thought is a brilliant one if we've all got that space of time and money spare...

    I’d love to do, it w*rk permitting, if 28+ people wanted to do it would that constitute a gmu? Is it numbers or location. The fact that it’s abroad would make it a foreign gmu anyways. There will always be one in the Uk no matter what, I hope!!

    Well it looks like we have a couple of solid ideas for the 2019 international trip...... I'm up for either or any other suggestions.

    Its a fair spin for me but that's the adventure :p, If we do go to France then its either a ferry to the uk and another to france or direct to france on a over nighter to Roscoff.

    I'm up for it. Call it a GMU or Donald effing Duck, makes no difference. Love France. Still want to do the Picos de Europa though. Would need a hotel or good bunkhouse though Dave.

    Hi Andy, glad to hear that you're up for the idea, at least.

    I put this up to gauge interest, so if there's enough I'll start looking into accommodation.
