Awesome
Really enjoyed the long WE with all of you. Made some new friends and some us go a while back. Great group, roads, weather and fun.
Defo this must go on as a yearly event. Perhaps combine with a trackday in France or Italy.
Hopefully we can avoid all the slippery paths next year :-)
Will post pics and some GoPro vids up once sorted.

We can learn some lessons from it. Each day was a very full itinerary and we were always behind schedule. Some drivers are much more committed (and have much more capable machinery) than others.
A repeat trip would undoubtedly attract a larger response and would need to be carefully planned probably with two or three groups running routes with rendezvous at agreed locations. Even with seven cars it is hard to keep a group together when the fastest can overtake at will and the slower cars/drivers (whilst no slouch) are running at a steadier pace.
The roads are simply fantastic whether it be motorways, A-roads or mountain passes.
Basic template for the trip is superb as put together by Stuart and Henrik. Well planned, some great accommodation, Megeve in particular, and huge choice dipping into Switzerland and Italy from France.

It would be something we would all love to do again. Some fantastic routes, the photos really don't give the full picture how epic it is. Once we have some video up, you will get a better idea.

I like the idea of a full itinerary, stops the drinking getting outta hand of an evening I guess haha. Sounds a good idea having a couple of groups especially for someone like myself who isn't the quickest. My cars engine is now built so within a month will be on the road at bloody last!
Looking forward to the video let me know when its up...cheers
