A few of us from this parish are heading down to Corsica early in July. If anyone is interested in joining us for all or part of the trip and would like more info including mapsource routes etc. please post or pm me.
A brief summary of the route is:-
After an overnight Ferry from Hull to Zeebrugge ………
Dijon – roads through the French Jura to :-
Annecy – joining the Route des Grande Alpes to:-
Briancon – Col de Bonette, Col de Turini to :-
Menton/Nice – ferry to Calvi and down the coastal road to:-
Ajaccio - 4 days exploring the island - leaving on the Bastia/Livorno ferry
into Pisa and on to:-
Florence – then North to Lake Garda
Riva Del Garda – a few passes inc. Gavia and Stelvio to:-
Naunders – then its back up to the top of Stelvio for the Umbrail and Ofenpass to :-
Arosa – Furka and Grimsel passes to :-
Grindelwald – 2 nights here – (trip up the Eiger or ride out to Lauterbrunnen)
leaving here we are heading up to the Black Forest before bearing left to :-
Colmar and Keysersberg – through the Vosages then head towards the ferry home.
There will be very few motorways, but as a consolation prize there will be approx 43 passes.
We are planning on using hotels but if anyone prefers camping it shouldn’t be a problem. The route should be suitable for pillions.
I expect that those who enjoy off-roading will be doing their own thing whilst on Corsica.
As the trip is in July I would prefer to make the some of the bookings prior to leaving. So if you want to join us please confirm before end of January.
