We're going - making an 'epic' road trip out of it with several 'diversions' along the way to places of cultural (and alcoholic,

) interest.
Friday 18 June, depart Scotland to overnight in Folkestone Holiday Inn Express
Saturday 19 June, (meet up with the other AOers who were on the run to Spain in October) through Eurotunnel then down to Troyes area - staying here:
Domaine du Moulin d'Eguebaude: Bed & Breakfast in Aube, Champagne - Ardenne, France, from Alastair Sawday's Special Places to Stay, French Bed & Breakfast
Sunday 20 June, Troyes to Luzerne in Switzerland - staying here:
WELCOME TO JAILHOTEL LÖWENGRABEN - WILLKOMMEN IM GEFÄNGNISHOTEL LÖWENGRABEN
Monday 21 June, As many Swiss Passes as can be squeezed into the route to Bergamo - staying here until Monday 28 June:
Casa amici del Bosco - Home - less than an hour from Milan
Return route still being planned but will be taking 4 days to get back to the Channel so will no doubt include several more Swiss Passes and hopefully the Schlumpf Collection at Mulhouse. Once back in the UK, going straight to Goodwood for the whole 3 days of the Festival of Speed, so finally getting home on Monday 5 July - and will probably then sleep for the rest of that week,
