Nice mate, sounds great

 

[billz]

There are a few passes i have not done before so will be nice to add these to the List
It will also be our first trip to the Alps with just me and Kim so it may well end up with only one of us coming back home

Wow! Go on then how much is the fuel bill working out at?

Probably around £600 Dave, should not be any more than we usually spend on fuel. I reckon it will all come in just under 2k for Fuel and Hotels

Nowt better than ticking the box mate. Looks great, and going on your own you can do things as and when you want.

Mmmm. St Omer, eh? Only been there once, think I was about 10 at the time, so it was the parents fault, they picked the hotel. Kept awake all night by people going up and down the stairs, doors slamming, and many other noises. Seems it was the sort of hotel where a chap might encounter a lady of (ahem) negotiable terms. Expect it's all changed by now.

Should still have plenty of Snow at the side of the road and makes the views even more spectacular
