Featured Touring Off To The Alps!

I am absolutely enjoying your travels vicariously, Vulpes! Thanks for terrific photos and great commentary!

 

Thank you Vulpes, following your trip I just realise that I live in a nice area, and never travel around . That gives some week end goals for next spring

 

Today started off very foggy - so no photos of the first bit. Which is a shame, because the route Napoleon (which I was on) is beautiful.
The rest of today's journey was just making progress - not that I do not like those parts of France, but just no time this trip.

Above the fog

The countryside today was very different from the high Alps. The first leg of the journey had some little cols, but after that the scenery just widened up.

The last leg was mostly long, swooping, fast bends. Great for riding!

 

Last day in France, and some nice riding was had. I headed for the route des cretes in the Vosges, and after that made for Luxemburg. A good day in all, some rain, but not too bad.
On the way up...

Further along...

At today's destination, Vianden, Luxemburg...

 

And just for @andypandy , because he likes his food

Grenouilles

Cote de boeuf

 

Thanks for sharing Vulpes.

Thoroughly enjoyed reading of your adventure. Stunning pictures too. Oh, and some lovely grub.

 

Gladly done, mate. I'm happy you enjoyed it. I certainly did, the adventure (and the food... ) worked out great.

 

Definitely!

 

This was a thoroughly enjoyable thread with stunning photos, @Vulpes! Thanks so much for taking the time to post throughout your trip and for sharing your adventures with us.

 

You saying I'm a fat bastard ?

 

I'm sure it's just hormonal

 

I wouldn't dare, good sir!

 

Another one off the net of the Col de Turini - that was a fun one!

 

Brilliant stuff What an adventure.

 

It was fantastic mate. Highly recommended!

 

Two more vids - I've no clue about editing, perhaps @Wessa can give me some tips!

 

I took my Moto Guzzi V7 around Europe back in 2013, was awesome. I've only taken my Triumph around the south of the UK so far though, went over Dartmoor motocamping with it the other weekend which was lovely

 

The south of the UK is also fantastic. The Alps are in a different league though...

 

So speedy is safely back in her little cubbyhole - vulpes has landed.

Thanks to all of you who followed my adventure, I hope you enjoyed it!

 

Not sure yet mate - possibly the emerald Isle next year? Or Romenia, or the Balkans, or... who's to say?
