Pass Pursuits Signature Trips · set departures

Drive the passes in good company.

A small convoy, a handful of summer departures, and a route we have driven many times. Book your place, bring your own car, and we take care of everything else from the moment you leave the UK.

Our group trips run through the summer months: rarely more than eight cars, led by someone who knows the roads, staying in hotels we have chosen and eating where the locals do. You drive your own car. We plan the route, book the beds and arrange the Channel crossing, both ways.

What's included

Everything but the car and the petrol. You turn up at the crossing; we have done the rest.

  • Return Channel crossingEurotunnel or ferry, arranged both ways from the UK.
  • Hand-picked hotelsFamily-run inns and design-led chalets, dinner where it suits.
  • A printed road bookTurn-by-turn notes and a short briefing each morning.
  • A lead driverSomeone out front who knows every pass and every café.
  • A small groupA handful of like-minded cars, never a coach party.
  • Rest days built inTime off the road, by the water, when the driving has earned it.
