We could spend two nights there and spend the day riding the area, it would break up the journey down or back.

I thinks it bout time

I think its time we looked at booking a hotel and a ferry here and there,sat round the table with a beer,and hatched a plan.
I went to a pub in vigo (the villager)last night( still got a headache!!),an ideal place for a meet, a band starts at nine to finish the evening off, i'll check the diary and organise a meeting.

 

[GS_or_bust]

Great idea.

 

[the beer hunter]

We did a mega-mile blast to Rome in 2008 & this year I decided to do The Alps at a more leisurely pace.
Both trips were worth doing & had their highlights.

Good luck with the trip lads & I look fwd to the trip report.

I can attest that the Hochalmspitze is a lovely ride.. I was there in june this year.

All to myself.. not a single bike during its entire length.

This following 3 days in the black forest. a week in the Dolomites.

4 days in Slovenia and quite by chance found myself on the Hochalm en route for home... apart from the weekends I saw very few other bikes.. and NO british reg bikes at all... apart from a couple of GS's that blasted past me on the Grossglockner while I was enjoying the view at the Hochtor.

the snow was quite impressive there mind...

 

[Pauly S]

Weve done some of these

they really are spectacular to see.
My biggest regret was not taking enough pictures.
Nice write up.

Sorry mate I can’t be a 100%, I've got to book the time off of work and most importantly, the Mrs I have to build in the 20% element of doubt. When can we get together to plan the trip?

 

[Pauly S]

meeting point

HI All,
i think its time we all sat down round the table and booked these ferries.
Does a meeting point spring to mind, with a big table, where we can lay out some maps,wifi,and poss a beer.
I did think of the kentagon at brands hatch, but i cant find out their opening hours.
Any ideas.?Paul

Meeting

Just looked on their site looks like a normal boozer so would assume pub hours would rule. No times advertised sounds like a good idea so lets organise it
meanwhile happy new year to all.
