AnOther Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 We took the pretty route on our drive to Munich, topped off with the old St Bernadino Pass, I'm still buzzin [:D][IMG]http://i127.photobucket.com/albums/p123/biskitboyo/Greatdrive.jpg[/IMG] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clair Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 Lovely Ernie! [:D]As a student many many moons ago, I worked in a mountain refuge on the edge of that big lake south-east of Beaufort. The old Renault 4 my friend was driving conked out on the drive there and we had to stop half-way up to let it cool down...We arrived in early July and the winter snow hadn't melted yet!The countryside is breath-taking there and I have yet to see a more stunning mountain view (nostalgia-tinted sunglasses firmly on!)

AnOther Posted September 26, 2008 Author Share Posted September 26, 2008 The lake and beyond were the highlights of the trip Clair, the onlyshame being that we were not in the MG but next time.............[:(]For the memory [;-)][IMG]http://i127.photobucket.com/albums/p123/biskitboyo/DSCN5142.jpg[/IMG] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patf Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 Looks wonderful Ernie. Don't like the look of those close-packed zigzags though - must have beeen almost vertical.[+o(] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnOther Posted September 26, 2008 Author Share Posted September 26, 2008 The whole run was about 98km so I guess the lake would be around 30km from Seez.Nice spot you've chosen BTW [:D] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panda Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 Thanks Ernie, yes it's beautiful, just have the minor issue of property to buy and one to sell of course! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnOther Posted September 30, 2008 Author Share Posted September 30, 2008 Terrific - as always, I generally lose count after about 6 liters [:-))]There are no chemicals or other rubbish ingredients in German beer - by law - result - no hangovers [:D] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chezstevens Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 Going past Cassino into the mountains is pretty impressive but then for a slow drive ... the Amalfi, going north from Sorrento. Only on a motorbike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonzjob Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 Struth Bruce, or should that be Clair? That looks like a nice easy Wednesday afternoon bike ride? I for one will see if I can remember to watch that one! Old age says I will have to post reminders all round the house, if I remember to post them?I have yet to fathom out how they can just keep their legs going like that for 5 hours at a stretch. I get tired watching them, thirsty too and it's costing a fortune in beer just keeping up with the watching! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
