I'm going to head off to my mountain place next Friday. Would you like to go with me?
Correct?
Is also possible to say, 'Do you like going (being) with me?', if we together have already started the journey?
Thanks

Re: infinitive, present participle
Tukanja,
The first sentence is correct. I am not sure what idea you want to convey in the second sentence. Once you are already on the trip, you could ask:
Are you enjoying the trip with me?
Do you like travelling with me?
Do you like being with me on this trip?
This would be asking the person if they are enjoying travelling with you. However, if you are inviting them to join you, this is how you would say it:
Would you like to go to my mountain place with me?

Re: infinitive, present participle
ET, are we heading off on Friday to our mountain places, each to his ? 
I just wanted to be sure that the Present Participle form's to be used in the sentence once the host and the guest are already together on a trip.
like
Do you like being (travelling) with me.
Thank you
