cat and fiddle , er no , the road surface has a high % of stone in it . i rode it in the damp , a van spun off the road, coming towards me and ended up in the field below . i got off the bike and nearly fell over , cos the road has no grip in the wet .

furka pass , yes .

bealach na ba , fun , even in the rain.
