5thWILDHOG Posted July 20, 2010 Author Share Posted July 20, 2010 back home a day early had a awesome time took the best part of 24hrs to get there. ripped by the toll roads in france, weather was fantastic, set up camp in charmonix had a cracking laugh, nephew went off on his quest to climb mont blanc with his mate, i went off to have a look around charmonix really cool place. i was having a much needed kip in the tent. nephews mate came back cause he didn't feel he could do the mountain it was to much for him. i wasn't going to let myself feel disappointed by my trip next day rode around the mountain which took me through mountain passes to Martigny in switzerland to the tunnel Du St Bernard Italy through to Aoste Morgex and back through the mont blanc tunnel about 6.5hrs some of the most beautiful mountain roads with scenery to take you breath away and not for one second did i feel alone with foreign bikers letting on every inch of the way. was just getting settled after my day out when my nephew arrived back with his pics and stories of his climb mont blanc looked awesome from the top. sadly his mate a problem at home and we had to leave early doing approximately 929 miles and a ferry crossing in 19hrs my body still feels like it is on the bike weird feeling hands and arms are stiff and aching but thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee157/craig7boss/IMG_2698.jpg http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee157/craig7boss/IMG_2645.jpg http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee157/craig7boss/IMG_2730.jpg http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee157/craig7boss/IMG_2721.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
