We're back!

....from our almost month-long break on the continent, biking and camping:)

Great first 10 days, wet in south of France and Italy (whilst England basked in the best weather this summer!), and a knackered regulator due to alarm shock-sensor failing gave us abit of a headache trying to get back up through France in time for the ferry at St Malo. But overall a real adventure and one we won't forget:D

Just got to get the bike sorted, including a bust fairing where I dropped it in Nice (couldn't get my feet off the pegs we were sweating so much the leathers were sticking at full stretch):ack2:

Great biking roads in the South of France, and we got some good footage from the gum cam on the front of the bike going down the twisties into Cahors:D

Just got back from 2 weeks in west & South of France. Went to Nice, Monaco / Pyrennes, Biarritz.

Bloody Hot!!!!!!!!

On the bike - sweaty as hell!

Put down a deposit on a new boat in Monaco (£100), but only got to find the last £130,000,900 to pick her up:):ack2::).

Great trip. Except the £ v Euro is crap:(

Glad you enjoyed the trip

Can't wait toget back over there next year. Given half a chance I'd cheerfully emigrate there - biker's paradise:)

Looks like we had a similar trip David - included abit of the track at Monaco (a little bit slower than the F1 cars though):D Abit slippery in the wet too:ack2:

We found the road out of Menton up into the mountains to Sospel pretty good for the bikes too - did that one coming back out of Italy - in the dry:)

Welcome back Phil :)
Reminds me of our trip down that way a few years ago..
We left the motorways behind at Dijon and headed through the Alps. Spent a few days camping near Briancon, then rode down to Monaco for a few days, then along the coast to Barcelona for another few days, then back up the East of France to Calais.
Was one of the best holidays I've ever had. And not a drop of rain for the whole two weeks!! :)
Riding through the Alps should be on every bikers list of things to do. Simply breathtaking! :cool:
