Cheers fazernigel, I'm with MCE so I've got UK RAC but nothing in EU. I know not to cut corners with health insurance after my soon to be wife came off her mountain bike in French alps last summer. She ended up with a broken jaw and concussion. I was very impressed with the level of care she got. Within an hour of arriving at the hospital she had a full brain scan and been to X-ray twice, in Belfast you'd still be waiting at reception! Luckily I had read the fine print and bought a policy that covered category 2 sports up to 3000m above sea level. We are getting married in July and much to my non biking mates disgust I'm calling this trip my stag party!
This will my my 5th year in a row visiting the alps, although my first taking the yam rather than my van. Will be more than happy to share a few pics, assuming I can get back home without any major 'incidents'..
