Geoffrey Carter (Buttercup) Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 We travelled through lots of different tunnel designs. These are a pair of the shorter ones. The longest we went through was 13km long and one even had junctions inside where other tunnels met. In one, Jude was driving to close behind me and warning messages flashed up telling her to back off. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoffrey Carter (Buttercup) Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 It is amazing how the Swiss have constructed their roads where they have. Here is a little video of one of the easier drives down the sound of a hillside. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Kinder (Bagpuss) - Joint Peak District AO Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 Great music. Are you sure you've not just looped the video to show the same two hairpins again and again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Taylor Posted June 9, 2019 Author Share Posted June 9, 2019 Here we are the morning after, sat with a coffee , reflecting on a great adventure No it wasn’t all sweet and smelling of roses, with a couple of minor breakdowns and a major one with Jude’s engine. Not to mention the times we were “ temporarily unaware of our location “ But and a big But we met some fantastic people en route, that didn’t speak English but tried, as we were trying to speak french or german and we got by with a laugh and wave Everywhere we went people, bikers and drivers waved, took pictures and enjoyed seeing the Westies So we’ve learned a few lessons for next time, and put a few more ideas in the pot To sum up , I personally would like to thank all who came along, everyone who shared in our enjoyment home and abroad. And to Trina who supported me and encouraged me through the hiccups and despite being scared of heights had a go at every thing and really enjoyed the trip thank you one and all niw to get to get the car ready for our next trip in 2 weeks 😁 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
