two questions. Where is that? And ... How long is the tunnel? Any farther South and I'll need to trade the Defender in for a Landing Craft Smile

Thanks for posting the photos Shazzy I am just in the middle of route planning for the Alps next summer and that is one on my list.
My plan is .
MT Cenis.
Collea de Assiette.
Parpallian tunnel.
MT Jafferea.
Did you do any other routes whilst in the area?

Have done some in that area before and is fantastic looks like you had a good time.

Be warned, the tunnel may be closed. It seems to be shut more often than it is open at the moment. Make sure you have up to date info before making the trip up there (although the visit to the fort just before the tunnel is worth it in its' own right).

What happens if you meet someone coming the other way? Or is it one way? Rolling with laughter If you go through life with your head in the sand....all people will see is an ar5e!!

Treat every day as if it is your last....one day you will be right!!
