It was the mice!

Austria will have to wait - perhaps later this year, but not going ahead in May due to personal circumstances. The roads, mountains and hotels are not going anywhere and the planning can be re-used when the time is right.

The mothballed plan looks something like this:

Final destination the currently elusive Hohenwerfen Castle a.k.a. Schloss Adler with some interesting towns, forests and mountain passes along the way.

At any rate, there's been a terrible mix
up with your planet. You must come with me
or it's all going to blow up in our faces.
The best laid plans of mice, you know...

...and men.

Mmmm? What?

I don't think men have got much to do with
  it.

No going back - badges means its on!

Badges like its a 70s tour bus!
For some reason it seems the right thing to do + focuses the mind...



Just need a good few shake down runs over the next 5 weeks and I'm all set.

Sat Nav splash screen


Need to be in the right mood to fiddle with cars - today was more a futer (as my wife would say) with images day - to produce a splash screen for the satnav


Route is settled, ferry booked as are overnight stops save one.

Castle of the Eagles - Austria - planning

Hopefully headed south again this year - at least starting to think about it; a run through Northern France/Germany/Austria to one of the locations used for the filming of a family favourite movie: Where Eagles Dare. An excuse to head for some mountain passes.


Assuming the car starts of course.
It's been languishing in the Garage virtually since Barcelona... come on weather - cheer up!
