Well seeing as the Suns been out, me and the wife decided to take a few days off work and head down to North Wales to take in the "Evo Triangle" and Llanberis Pass. Set off early Thursday and drove to the hotel to drop the bags off. We stayed at the Groes inn at Conwy. Evo magazine stay here when doing "shoots" in Wales. Would definitely recommend it, great food / room. (Ignore the disabled parking sign, only parked there for the photo lol) Great view to wake up to! Decided to do the "Evo Triangle" the first day, then Llanberis Pass, Snowdonia the second. There's loads of reviews about the "Evo Triangle" so no point doing another. What I will say i…

As a couple of guys have been caught by the fuzz over the last weekend, I wonder if we should advertise runs out on this forum. Is that the correct thing to do? Is anyone up for a drive out on Sunday? Can anyone suggest a route or better still, be a guide? Maybe meet at the usual place at the usual time and go from there. If no ones up for it, no dramas, but its my last shebang before I go out of the country for 3 months. Any takers...

Please be aware that the law regarding speed cameras in France changed recently, and it is now an offence to have any device that identifies the location of cameras, including POIs in Sat Navs. Radar detectors were banned a while ago but "Les Bleus" have now banned everything basically. The offence is having it so if you go to France ensure that the function in your Sat Nav is switched off before you enter France. The penalty is up to 1500 Euros!!!

So I bought this tiny plastic car 9 years ago, and you know how it is, you get married, have children, and the plastic car gets forgotten in the garage. So I convince SWMBO that it is a good idea to dump the children at my parents and spend the weekend in France and fitting in some Champagne tasting whilst we are at it. (Can you guess at which point she agreed?) Oh and she hadn't even sat in the car since she was pregnant with anklebiter no.1 which was 4 years ago. So day 1, the drive from Staffordshire to Amiens, via the tunnel. IMGP3274 by erkflik, on Flickr Sunset, still not at the hotel yet IMGP3297 by erkflik, on Flickr Day 2…

Hi All, Next week i'm off to Tenby, Wales and instead of sitting on all the main roads or motorways i'd love to tour through the Brecon Beacons for the first time. I've come up with a route based on a couple of roads i've heard mentioned a few times on here, but I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions or roads that are a must? Thanks in advance! Phil http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=d&sour...580902&z=11 Edit, another option... I could plan a route there and a different route back home, if the weather is great on both the days i'm traveling.

A quick question before i post up my plans for an Alps roadtrip 2010... Are the various Alps passes still open/ passable in late September/ first week in October? I'm not just thinking about the overrated Stelvio either, but anyone know if it's a bit late in season or whether mid sept is a better bet? cheers!

Hi everyone, Hopefully if everything goes to plan for this year's foreign excursion I am driving to Mugello for the Moto Gp at the beginning of June, will be going via Stelvio (well why not!) then on to Mugello. Am just in the early planning stages and still waiting for confirmation from parties who may or may not be coming, if anyone has any advice as where to stay in Stelvio and other tips that would be welcome. Plan at the moment is leave Calais tuesday 1st June and arrive in Mugello on Friday 5th June, what happens in between doesn't matter! (Although I do plan to visit Reims on the way) will be camping in Mugello (booking that when we arrive, ad hoc) then…

As some of you know, the wife and I, my friend and his girlfriend are off on a little summer tour of Europe. A total of 15 days, covering approximately 3,300 miles, just for ultimately one reason - Stelvio! Me driving The Bug, and my friend in his 53 plate Z4. We are embarking on a trip that we thought we would regret it if we didnt do it this year, whilst we both have the opportunity. As quite a few people have shown interest in where we going I thought I would put some info here to show what we doing and where we're going. Feel free to add comments/advice/etc. We leave on July 26th and get back on August 9th. This is more or less the route we will be taking: Map…
