    Thank you Vulpes, following your trip I just realise that I live in a nice area, and never travel around :):) . That gives some week end goals for next spring

    Today started off very foggy - so no photos of the first bit. Which is a shame, because the route Napoleon (which I was on) is beautiful.
    The rest of today's journey was just making progress - not that I do not like those parts of France, but just no time this trip.

    The countryside today was very different from the high Alps. The first leg of the journey had some little cols, but after that the scenery just widened up.

    The last leg was mostly long, swooping, fast bends. Great for riding!

    Last day in France, and some nice riding was had. I headed for the route des cretes in the Vosges, and after that made for Luxemburg. A good day in all, some rain, but not too bad.
    On the way up...

    I took my Moto Guzzi V7 around Europe back in 2013, was awesome. I've only taken my Triumph around the south of the UK so far though, went over Dartmoor motocamping with it the other weekend which was lovely

    The south of the UK is also fantastic. The Alps are in a different league though...

    Not sure yet mate - possibly the emerald Isle next year? Or Romenia, or the Balkans, or... who's to say? :)
