Sorry for the late reply here fellas. I got back from the Euro-tour on the 7th and was off to Ibiza with my good lady a couple of days later. Then back for 1 day and took my Mum to Berlin for here 60th. So now I home, back to work and back to normal
.
The tour was fantastic, and a success with regards to the poppy making it to its destination on time. Thank you to all for the sponsorship. If anyone cares to donate, the page is still live...
Unfortunately it rained more or less from leaving Glasgow, through England, Holland, Belgium, Germany and Austria. About 8 days, with the odd hour of respite here and there. The rain broke for a couple of hours whilst we were at the ring, so we managed a couple of laps. However, the track was closed most of the day because there were so many accidents, some pretty serious too.
The Stelvio pass was amazing, the view spectacular. However the SP85 near Trento is a better road. If you like your twstys, that's the one for you.
Thiepval memorial and Locknagar bomb crater were beautiful places to visit. Quite moving really, when you think of all those people and what they did.
My new camera worked a treat and I managed about 7-800 pictures. But the file size is too large for me to upload them here, so it's just as well I took 132 with my phone.
Thanks again for the sponsorship guys. Its for a really good cause.
