Club Triumph

Shame to be leaving France in such fabulous weather. Reports of snow in Switzerland and Italy?

Completed another great 10CR

5 miles to go and car ground to a halt. Fortunately had only run out of petrol. Have now arrived at Rolduc

33 miles to go to the finish

Weather good again. Enjoying a great drive through the Eifel National Park

Arrived the Nurburgring, raining quite heavily. Sports car race on

Currently just short of Franfurt

Pulled over for fuel, about half distance to Holland done. Rain back again.

Heading north toward rothenburg rain stopped

Various bits of fettling under Sally’s bonnet this morning has resulted in a vast improvement from the lumpy running, coughing and missing of yesterday. 👍🏻 yeah...

B25 avoided.. the good news is, the further north the drier it’s getting.

Correction HARBURG. Triumphs going in all directions ....

Warning B25 closed for about 10k beyond Hasburg

On route to Nurberg ring now 😎

Final day and as we leave Augsburg its pouring with rain. Not good with just one wiper

Then using the ST2060, L255, L250 & L251 we skirted the Tyrol anticlockwise round to Fussen where we saw Ludvigs Castles before heading north toward Augsburg and our hotel for the evening. All in all just under 300 miles today. The passes and lakes were awesome. Relied very heavily on the free issued sat nav files.

Summary of our route today. Leinz to Ausburg. Left hotel and entered the Hohe Tauren National park using the L271 toll road up and over the Grossglockner pass. Very snowey at the top, foggy and wet coming down the other side toward Salzburg. Left at Zell am Zee then took the B168 & B165 toward Rohrberg. Then B181 into Bavaria. Once in Bavaria we snaked this way and that using the B13, B11 to Garmisch Partenkirchen, Oberau.

parked outside our hotel this evening after a fantastic day driving through Austria & Germany

some 2500m later we reached the top of the pass. Our little car ran well. My concerns that the high altitude might bring the car to a standstill were unfounded, she ran well. Stopped at the top for a coffee with a few other crews, which gave the car a break.

snow at the top, clearly visible as we descended the other side
