We (Al & Steve) have created this blog so that we can keep the families updated with progress etc during our trip. If we get internet connection and have the time then it should work.
Al's better half Jannette reckons its a holiday but he keeps on insisting its a trip!!!!
Anyway, we're off to the Alps from 17th to 24th June.
We've both been before a couple of times and this time we're working our way North to South over as many mountain passes as we can from Bourg Saint Maurice to Monte Carlo and back. It's a well worn route with elements of the Route de Grande Alpes and the Route Napoleon mixed in with a few diversions.
Wednesday 17th June we are travelling in one hit from Lincoln to Bourg Saint Maurice - an arse numbing 840 miles - done it before and it's not too bad.
Thursday June18th, proposed route shown below. Approx 200miles taking in Petit Saint Bernard, Colle San Carlo, Grand Saint Bernard,Col des Saises, Col du Pre and Cormet de Roseland.
We'll have to see how it goes - three countries in one day - Switzerland, Italy France.
Staying the first two nights 17th & 18th at Hotel Angival in BSM.
