Probably what I'll be doing. Including a trip to my old village Drumnadrochit. Which handily means a boon along the side of Loch Ness. :thumbsup:

Done Alps every year for the past 9 years, thought I'd look at Norway again, went out there in 2001 Kayaking, breath taking views, but quite a few dead straight roads not so good when you like to follow the letter Z. I can remember the fuel being very expensive as well :thumbsdown: :thumbsdown:

Hi all,
We have a trip booked for europe in June taking in France, Switzerland and the Italian lakes. I have allowed 10 days in all. If anyone has any tips that would be great.
Only bought the Zed just before Christmas so really looking forward the trip. Just got 1 more hotel to book in Italy but can`t dicide where at the moment, it needs to be close to lake Garda.
Cheers.

Euro trips for me are as follows:

1) Easter ring
2) May Ring (or 3 below)
3) Mega trip to S/France for Monaco GP and Cannes Film festival - route is broadly as: UK, France, Switzerland, Italy, S/France - 7-8 days planned :driving: Hoping to have a mini convoy for this trip but not too large that it brings unwanted attention...
4) 2 more ring trips (June then Oct)

I'm quite looking forward to (3) as this will be my first proper road trip since 2006 when between 2004 and 2006 had done Barcelona, Geneva, and Milan. All the fun seemed to stop in 2007 :( :( , so keen to get things going again...

Just listening to BBC 24 which shows euro at a 17 month low... hope the trend continues through the year in favour of sterling (just my opinion) and sorry if this affects anyone adversely :oops:
