So after breakfast this morning we all decided today was pass day  I had googled the best 5 Swiss passes and the closest is Susten pass. Cars are in an underground car park at this hotel and when me and Nakki went down Terry and Caroline were already outside, the day had not started well for Terry - Caroline said tell Marcus what you have done! Now he could have tried to pull the wool over my eyes saying he lost the back end in a hair pin and just clipped the barrier on full opposite lock etc etc but I wouldn't have believed him so he just owned up and told us he had reversed into the hotel wall  I told him it might buff out but then my finger went through the hole lol!

Susten pass was amazing we went over then back again on the reverse route, got some good pics and vid footage. It's over 30 degrees at the base but quite a bit cooler when you are on the tops.

Terrys says he's developed a misfire but might just have been the heat / inclines today so we'll see what it's like tomorrow.

Called in at Lidl on the way back for supplies which has become a bit of a holiday tradition

I was reversing to get out of the sun and someone built a hotel right behind me in my blind spot. That's the truth and I'm sticking to it.

The misfire developed after following Marcus "Miss Daisy" Barlow for about an hour, you know how these vtecs like to rev. Well she was just clearing out her spark plugs for a second or 2. That's another one I'm sticking to aswell.

Running on 2 cylinders and it pulled up that pass in your video like muck of a shovel.

Today has been a non westy day, after filling up with the breakfast buffet we travelled to Lucerne by boat from our hotel in Weggis which is at the other side of the lake 

Lucerne is a lovely place with lots of history to explore. I visited "the oldest knife shop in town" for some Swiss Army knife goodies.

One thing about Switzerland is it is expensive I've run out of Swiss francs today so ime now sponging off @Terryathome  which is hard work cos he's a tight Lancashire git

Good vid except the gormless bloke at the end @Terryathome

This is the wall Terry did not see when he was reversing  I've told him to put his GoPro on backwards wire it into his phone and it will do as a reverse camera, all he'll then need is some reversing buzzers lol
