It is still a hotspot but you can now get guided tours of the town/city: http://tour2chernobyl.com/ It does have a lot of restrictions though to make sure you aren't at risk..... I really want to do it but it is WAY off the course of the rest of the trip. Also, at the moment it is very 'untouched' and the true feeling will be felt there- very ghostly and eery which is something that will disappear over the years as it becomes more commercialised... or even worse, something happens to someone and it gets shut down again.

We often overnight at Chester Fairoaks CC site on our way to Malvern or The Lakes. Its a lovely little site and exactly 2 hours from the ferry at Holyhead. Very handy.

Probably going to take the Alfa down to Monza via the Stelvio Pass to tick that one off the list. Other than that, expecting the chaps in Solihull to have my truck ready by the end of March/early April, so might have to start exploring some lanes.
Very nice indeed . Right in the middle of everything. See some very nice cars waiting outside for the valet too... 2013 Defender 110 XS DCPU 2016 Ford Mustang 5.0 V8 |

Quebec in 2 weeks time for the winter festival - that's a 40th birthday present for SWMBO . Later in the year (July) taking the Defender through the Alps. In addition there'll hopefully be some uk camping trips as well.

I remember the sat nav voice saying that road, he/she goes on for ages, "the autostrade data flatter octagon raver blah blah blah, turn right" If you have driven it and got a nuvi you will know what I mean |

The Stelvio will be a Toll road from this year on. Think it will be 5 euros per car. Free on a bush bike. That fairground wheel in Chenobyl. How any times have I had a fire fight with Russian nationalists at that place while waiting for a Helivac? (anyone who plays COD will know it well)

Good to know - think I can probably stretch to €5 though . Especially as the trip down through France and back last year ran to about £160 in tolls 2013 Defender 110 XS DCPU 2016 Ford Mustang 5.0 V8 |
