Not a Liz approved route Mark

Tell her how much you enjoy her singing and you found the perfect road for it.

Bottle of half decent vino for lunch as well before you go up (For Liz! not you Kev)

 

[mark61]

After a few vino and a well seasoned pilot for lunch, she'll be needing a nap.

Just sat having a coffee after a few downhill twisty bits and I could here a small plane making diving noises which seemed odd considering the steep terrain and heavy low cloud right now, I opened up the Flight Recorder app and for an overview of the terrain it's better than any navigation app.

We're the tiny blue dot near the top of the second picture.

We found some proper capodimonte coffee in a little patisserie this morning €4 bloody 20 though.

It was in a beautiful huge old Swiss barn type building, look at the roof darking over a metre wide.

I noticed yesterday that another of the Remis door fixings has broken, 3 out of 5 screw holes are too large not really doing anything.

Is it really beyond the ken of man to make the molding machine so a stainless washer couldn't be embedded in the manufacturing process or at least make the section a bit more substantial?

I'm going to remove and glue something to the back of it, nylon or whatever I have in the garage.

Any ideas?

Were on our first aire of the trip, just a carpark with water and a place to empty and drain.

Some how we've managed to get through 45ltrs.

A couple of interesting bikes.

A little Puch moped, 60s? Nice condition though.

 

[Pudsey Bear]

And Barry's next bike he Carries on deteriorating.

 

[Pudsey Bear]

This old baby was next to us in lidl carpark too.

Still in Svitzerlund, I saw 5 of what might have been Eurofighters take off and then circle the town we were in, and on the way out we saw a convoy of army trucks, i did think of asking one of them for his knife but he looked like he might cry...

And finally one of you might find a use for this/them.

 

[trevskoda]

That moped is not as old as you think.
Keep the pics coming, saves me going there LOL.

 

[Pudsey Bear]

We know how to live it up.

Svitzerlund has been good though, they know how to look after bears.

Just remembered we saw the Alps today and (I think)

a red kite

Blimey Kev. Fair bit of snow on those mountains. I suppose its still early May. I wonder if that was why the Le Grand Bornand road was shut. Cant be surely in May. They are pretty good at keeping the roads open and its not that high.

Get into those hills man!!!

 

[Pudsey Bear]

I found one of your punky rock fans Barry.

Check out the braces.

 

[barryd]

Love it!

I think we need to set some challenges.

I always liked to swim in Alpine Lakes.

I remember one 7000ft up a pass. Ill see if I can find it. Southern French Alps I think. We rode up that on the old 2 stroke Scooter years ago and when we got to the top with it screaming its tits off there were a load of Brit bikers all congratulating themselves for coming up the pass. Their chins hit the floor when a 100cc 2 stroke appeared at the top. There was a lake at the top and the first thing I did was dive in. They are lovely and "refreshing". This is your first challenge.

 

[Pudsey Bear]

Not me mate, not going near water, fish shag and shite in there, theres things than can swim up yer todger and make you go all peculiar and I am as peculiar as I ever want to be already, that and I can't wim.

I'll put that down to mountain air !
Humans should not be that high up

 

[Pudsey Bear]

We only got up to 1000m for sure, maybe a bit higher.

Last night here in Payerne we had som scrotes making all kinds of noise, doors slamming, loud music talking loud and shouting near the van, it started about 11.30 and was still going on at 3am, I was very tempted to remonstrate with them but what type of arseholes are like that.

No plan as usual this morning, stay tuned for more from idiots abroad

 

[Pudsey Bear]

Anyway


May the fourth be with you
