    Rob had quite sensibly trailered into northern France to limit those never ending motorway miles

    Timmelsjoch summit

    From the album: 2024 - The Alps

    Very popular with bikers. From here we could see the inbound storm …
  16. From the album: 2024 - The Alps

    A great road, slightly spoiled by inconsistent surfacing on the northern side. Still beautiful though
  17. From the album: 2024 - The Alps

    Having got a bit wet descending Timmelsjoch, the clouds parted and we stopped for lunch at this biker friendly cafe as we ascended the Jaufen Pass
  18. From the album: 2024 - The Alps

    One of the lesser known passes near Imst in the Austrian Alps. Can’t think of a better 7 road

    Very keen early-birders, always off to explore often before breakfast
  20. From the album: 2024 - The Alps

    On the way up here, we witnessed many hundreds of “HandBike Battlers”. Incredible stamina and commitment 🙇🏼‍♂️
  21. From the album: 2024 - The Alps

    Our first evening meal - at the Auberge on the outskirts of Nancy. Don’t mention the “pig butt” 😯😆

    The multi-coloured Blat cast
  23. From the album: 2024 - The Alps

    A few of the group had never been, so we called in as it was just off our route south
  24. From the album: 2024 - The Alps

    We even had our own carriage exclusively for Caterhams
  25. With everyone now home safely from the above, and despite some monumental, but rare deluges, we experienced not one 7 related malfunction. Reflecting on the last week of dramatic scenery, entertaining roads (mostly) and more importantly new friendships made, I would like to personally thank everyone that took part and who made the whole event such a joyous experience. Organising tours / Blats with friends you know well can be a challenge, but doing the same across a wider group, most of whom have never met before (with a couple of exceptions in this case), is much more nerve wracking. Whilst the tour had to have an overall schedule, everyone was able to do what they wanted to; whether that be early morning pre-breakfast Blats over a newly discovered pass, local sightseeing or just a chilled out few hours exploring the local town. Such a great group of people both singles and with partners all linked by the love of these “komisches kleines Autos” as one of our Austrian hosts put it. Every day concluded with tales around the dinner table, many of which centred on certain participants ( they know who they are 😁) blaming TomTom for navigational hiccups. There is now a high level plan for Destination 2025 more of which I hope to share in the coming weeks…. all I’ll say at this stage is “Iberia”. And with that I will share a few photos from the wonderful 2024 Alpine adventure. All the best Rog Needham Tours Lead
