Sorry I missed all the fun.
I was there until about 17.00 hours on Sunday. Didn't do any laps as the conditions were very treacherous and I really didn't want to bend the car on the evening before my vacation...
Anyway, at least I had a quick chat with Arjan. The original plan was to do laps until closing time, but due to the weather I decided to join my mates a day earlier than planned for our trip through the Alps. Between Sunday and Friday we did the following:
Germany:
- Schauinsland (going south from Freiburg towards Bad Sackingen)
Switzerland:
- Glaubenbüelenpass
- Klausenpass
- St. Gotthardpass (using cobblestone Val Tremola route)
- Nufenenpass
- Grimselpass
- Sustenpass
- Furkapass
- Simplonpass
Italy:
- Val Vigezzo (not a pass but a brilliant drive though!)
Switzerland:
- San Bernadinopass
- Val Ferrera (not a pass but a great drive!)
- Splügenpass (up)
Italy
- Passo dello Spluga (down)
Switzerland:
- Malojapass
- Julierpass
- Flüelapass
Italy:
- Passo d'Eira
- Passo di Foscagno
- Passo dello Stelvio
Switzerland
- Umbrailpass
Italy:
- Passo d. Rombo (up)
Austria:
- Timmelsjoch (down)
At the top of Stelvio we were covered in snow: overnight a blanket of about 2 inches came down
Pictures of the trip are in two locations. One collection was taken with my small digital Ixus (quite a few in-car piccies here), the other with my new digital SLR (Eos 10D).
Collection one can be found here, the other one is here
Of course I also made some video recordings too. Will try to make a compilation of that later
Cheers,
JW
