 So not an off-roading post. I know some of you are planning your own trips following this superb submission from Redmond and Becky. Of course, key to the planning is the discussions with your "financial advisor" :) Now the promise of  a visit to the Whistlestop Cafe on Rhuddlan's HTM Industrial Estate might not secure the neces...

So its Au revoir France and Ciao Italia. Over 6 hours of trail today with some more to come. A few more surfaced roads today although the breathtaking views made up for it. High enough today to come across ice and snow in places. Redmond found that the Italian off-road sections were in much better condition than the French. Part of the route w...
