About 3 feet above sea level. Col du Tourmalet it is not, but can be just as fun.
We've been driving the foothills of Mt Etna today, some great roads but painful in a Toyota Yaris hybrid auto hire car, even when out of Eco mode!

Hi Bucksfez, will we need oxygen at that height? Looking forward to it, have a great holiday and keep the power of the Yaris under control. Unfortunately no Mt Etna for us but the Sweeps Fair next week.

I will try my hardest to get some decent roads in. Some locked gates and maybe even a ford or two (not the same one twice).
I have a spare day today (wife is out all day HEN PARTYING) so maybe I can get a route planned.
Framingham Castle anyone?

Happy to go where ever the route takes us! We appreciate the amount of time it takes to plan something like this. We will enjoy the scenery and the company. I have only been to Suffolk and Adnams for work and that was in the last century.

and hit a large tree.
My plus one is Pat.
