11 days and counting down

Only 11 days and a few hours to holiday time. Yippee.

Me, Claire and the GS taking a well earned break to Germany and Austria.

Plans are so far:


11th – Norfolk Line to Dunkerque. Overnight at YH in Oostduinkerke Belgium. Hopefully meet friends John & INge for dinner and few beers.

12th – Ride across Belgium and Germany to Mercure hotel near Bad Homburg.

13th – Southeast across Germany to Salzburg where we’ll stay two nights in the YH there.

15th – Salzkammergut and three nights in Bad Aussee.

18th – On the Road Again – Grossglockner and over night in Heiligenblut right at the top!

19th – Across the top of the Dolomites, 11 passes including the Stelvio ending in Sta Maria YH in Switzerland


20th – Short 160 mile or so run across Switzerland to Stein am Rhein and the YH there, and a chance to check out the scenery on the way and also the Rheinfalls.


21st – Back on the road and a reasonable day in the saddle through Germany to St Goar and another YH. Two nights eating bratwurst and drinking local wines!


23rd – Last day ride back to Dunkerque and the ferry home.
