So refreshing to come across such an entertaining beautifully written thread. I know your European trips are legendary and I have thoroughly enjoyed your latest account complemented with such excellent pictures.

I know lots of people have said that you should write a book. If you did I would definitely buy it.

You car looks brilliant with the sunflowers as a backdrop.

 

I think you should plan and lead a wee European road trip for some of us who want to do it but don't have a clue where to start/go Dave

Day 15 Lens to Home - 390 miles

Up early today for the 7am departure. It's an easy drive to the Chunnel from here, about 70 miles on the autoroute.

We arrive home mid afternoon; the end of another excellent Euro tour. I'm really beginning to struggle for new roads to drive, having done a lot of touring over that last 10 years. We have enjoyed re-visiting some places on this trip, and having a bit more time to take it all in.

Highlights were -

Susten snow blizzard
Nufenen Pass
Klausen Pass
Stelvio (3rd visit, still love it)
Goletto delle Crocette (NATO base)
The Ferraris
Lake Iseo
As always - The Alps

Mileage = 2912
Most miles in one day = 595
Fuel =

 

What was your average daily mileage Dave?
That 595 day was it the first or last day?

 

Mikey - 595 miles was the first day proper (not including the Friday when we drove down to Ashford).

The trip was 16 days in total; 13 driving days (averaging 224 miles per day) and 3 none driving days. Remember tho, we did 890 miles in the first 24hrs.

 

That's what I thought!
Been looking at doing one as you know and the daily average was creeping up

 

Dave your like an old mountain dog!! Love it cheers and all the best you old dog!!
