Hi Cooperman, you know I follow in your wheel tracks watching a holiday program on Montenegro, that looks dam fine. So many places to visit, so little time. Where you off too this year.

With Mrs C we are having a more relaxed 2 weeks staying on Lake Lucerne and Lake Garda.

I've then got a potential week with my brother which is when I'm thinking of Croatia. The obvious problem is the distance but I have been given a tip

Thanks to zac_04

This year they run from Koper to Amsterdam, so get on the train in the afternoon and be back in Amsterdam by lunch the following day. I would prefer to ride but when time is limited this gives you some options.

Hopefully it will work out

Bike daughter no 2 and hubby to be. Julie and I subbing it all and a wedding to pay for a back end of this year. A man can dream of bike trips though.
Will keep an eye out for your trip report sir.

Baz I just know that solo is a hoot. Remember to take time for photos.

If open and time permits go up the big cable cars. Definitely one on Falzareggo pass and also Pordoi. The views from the top well worth the euros.
Enjoy your trip Robert G.

Excellent news, will await your trip report and pictures, full run down on how the new bike runs. Have a top trip sir, take your thermal layers.

Will do. I went on the webcams for some of the passes yesterday and they're still covered in snow. Hopefully, they'll be clear in 3 weeks, but I'm not banking on it.

Any chance of links for some useful webcams please.

Robert, this is my favourite one - http://edelweissspitze.panomax.at/
Edelweissspitze is the view point above Grossglockner. I've been watching the snow disappear for the last week or so
It's a bit overcast today but there's been some lovely days recently.

The rest of the Grossglockner webcams are here :
http://www.grossglockner.at/de/service/webcams2/

Here's a few more here in the same area, although they're not as good as the above :
http://www.gerlosstrasse.at/de/wasserwunderwelt/webcams/
http://www.nockalmstrasse.at/de/service/webcam/
http://www.villacher-alpenstrasse.at/de/service/webcam/

I'm sure there's more on some of the passes you're going to do, just google them & see what you can find.


On a slightly different note, I fitted the Hattech yesterday. Just need to sort a Vario plate now & I'm good to go
