eye tye job

The fate is now sealed! just written the dates in my NEW diary!.
 
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.
 
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.

Great Idea, where's vigo?

Vigo

I thought it was the one in Portugal!
 

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.

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.

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?
 
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.
