Where's your MG going on holiday this year?

Hi . We love Lake Garda and have stayed in Malcesine , Bardolino , and love Riva, especially in August when the Notte di Fiaba festival is taking place. I've done a bit of mountain biking there also and if my ageing legs will allow it , would like to do the Monte Baldo ride that I've done twice in the past. Wonderful scenery. I would love to take the TF there now the engine has the uprated gasket fitted. Is it something you do annually and how long do you normally take getting down there ? John

No, Wynnats Pass is defo in Peak District its my old stomping ground from my youth, used to go there hiking and climbing its near Castleton, famous for the Blue John mines.

Mine is doing the North Coast 500 in May along with other Highland MGOC members. Hopefully roof down weather. Great MG roads and stunning scenery and who needs red wine when you've got whisky?

We've been taking motoring holidays for several years in the UK but one spring was so appalling we decided to go south. We already regularly go out to my wife's original home in Bilbao to stay with the mother in law but that's not really a holiday.

The first time out we did 6 nights seeing 8 countries and 13 border crossings but the mileages were too high and it was more driving than holiday, the second time we decided to spend 3 nights in Verona with 2 nights down and 2 nights back but even then the daily distances were too big.

Last year we decided to take 2 weeks instead of 1, 4 nights out instead of 2, 6 nights there and 4 nights back. Planning shorter days on the run out and back worked well, we managed to spend a few hours out of the car each day and lots of time in Naples.

This year we will probably do 3 nights out and3 back but only go as far as northern Italy, probably towards the east.

@ G0RSQ: What takes you to Rosmalen? I know the place as I grew up there and my parents still live there. You can surely ride some great countryside roads there but the town itself is not really a historic place...

Hey, tc, if you're going to the South, you can visit me in Tauberbischofsheim, which is near Würzburg in the North of Baden-Württemberg. You (and all the other t-bar-members of course) are sincere invited to have a cup of coffee (or tea!) on your trip through Germany.
All the last years we (my beloved wife and me) went to the UK by our MG.
This year, as the front subframe mounts are now o.k. as the headgasket is since September 2015, I'm looking forward to the sunny days for travelling around. I'm planning to travel to Vienna in Austria and to Venice in Italy while the Easter vacation. My youngest son Bennet (at the age of 13) has never seen these places, so I'm going to visit these towns with him.
At the end of May there are vacations again, we booked a pretty holiday flat with great look-outs at Ramsau (near Berchtesgaden/Watzmann) for one week We're planning to go there by two cars, our daughters Vauxhall/Opel Calibra and, of course, the MG.
Let the sun shine!

Thank you very much for the offer, I will keep it in mind.

Some might be aware from my profile name (G0RSQ) that I am a Radio Ham.

Once a year there is the biggest Radio related flea Market in Europe, at Rosmalen at the "Autoron".

So this is the excuse to make the effort and get away for a short weekend.

Only problem is the boot on the MG is too small for some of the bargains that can be found, but my Wife thinks this is a good thing!

It just the 5 Hour motorway thrash to Dover after work that gets me.

I'm considering the Cape Breton highlands this summer.
