Off to Euroland again

[nick crisp]

here is Switzerland...

It's smaller than I thought... :lol


I had heard about them stepping up the policing on the B500, so I'll be taking it 'carefully'. It seems to be a fairly logical route if you're heading for Switzerland and don't want to do motorways all the way, fairly direct. I've seen photos people have taken along it, and they don't look particularly stunning; they all say it's about just riding it. Oh well, it's on the tick list, so I'll get it done. I've got overnight stops booked on the way; one near Esch-sur-Sure, and one at Baden-Baden.


I'll have time for the Susten/Furka/Grimsel loop (also at the top of the tick list), also perhaps the Neufenen, which seems to be highly recommended, and one or two other places. 4 nights/3 days in Switzerland - might be too expensive for longer.


I spent 3 years in Germany with the RAF, and a mate and me used to ride down to the Moehnesee on Sundays quite often - it was a popular bike meeting spot right at the end of the dam there. I'd like to do more of Germany, as I mostly saw it through an alcoholic haze  :lol
