Could be good Sean. Could be up for this.

I am going to need to increase my mileage allowance next year

me too....

Mileage allowances? You old farts!

Trip sounds interesting.

Now that the route is published what do you think?

Sounds good to me...

I think the route looks very good.

Personally, I would not bother with Stelvio as I've been there and done it but obviously it is one of those places a lot of people will want to tick off the list and will draw in the interest levels hopefully. If I go, I will sit in the bar at the top

Have to say I'm interested, but need to speak to Kerry, September is pretty busy for us and we are normally only just back from summer hols by then.

Is the sharing based on two people in the same car?

That is correct.

We can look at a price for two cars and one room. I would think that there would be an uplift in cost to cover an additional crossing, route guides etc.
