Featured Touring Off To The Alps!

The Orkneys are gorgeous. We sailed there years ago. Whilst we were there we rented a car and drove about, and visited Skara Brae. Very impressive. The Highland Park distillery is worth a visit, too.

 

A last addition - I found the French very courteous to bikes in traffic. When filtering they move out of the way, and even on dual/single carriageways room is made for bikes to pass.
The best one though was when I was hurtling towards the town of Besancon - I was overtaken by a French biker who made me slow down rapidly, just in time to point out a hidden speed camera... VERY thoughtful!

 

Tnx! Glad you enjoyed it!

 

A final note - if you go to France and it's wet, beware of the white lines on pedestrian crossings... They're ABSOLUTELY FECKING LETHALLY SLIPPERY!

 

It's the accelerating mate... I lost the back at least four times...

 

For anybody that's interested, this was my route

 

A pleasure, @Johnjo . It's definitely worth going - I intend to go back and do it again, but this time take the more easterly route via the Col de Bonette. I missed quite a few Cols there.

 

Glad you enjoyed it mate! I'll be going back - we should keep in touch and maybe team up!

 

We know we get on, Andy. So why not eh?

 

It was brilliant @Dawsy ... inspite of being on my own. Thoroughly recommended, and thanks for your kind words!

 

It was a brilliant trip, Dougie. Some bad wather, but fine most of the time.
As for seafood - give it a go, well worth trying!
