Raider Posted August 31, 2005 Author Share Posted August 31, 2005 I still want to keep some mystery about the routre as I think it adds to the anticipation.You just might find some of this route on the 10CR tho ;)I presume there won't be any complaints :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deleted User Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 I've been taking an interest in the webcam at the Stelvio.If anyone is hoping to catch a look at any 10CR crews, then be aware that the images seem to be updated every 15 minutes. However, they may take up to 10 minutes before they are displayed on the website.It may be that there is a wee Italian chappie checking all the images to make sure that no one is mooning at the camera - or worse. Then again - maybe not. :)Here is the link to the webcam:http://webcam.popso.it/stelvio.php?PASSOEST Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnD Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 We'll be there about 2030 according to the details already published.From your observations, will the webcam picture show anything at that time of night, even we all did a moon together?Be nice to use the mobile phone net to get as big a group as poss up there and then ask some one to grab the shot for here!John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted User Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 If all goes well, I'll be capturing every camera shot (there are three on the Stelvio) every 15 minutes.One of Raider cracking his whip from the roof of a TR7 would be worth a look! :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 Ahem - if there's no fannying about then we might just make Stelvio on time although I have to point out that last time our timekeeping around Italy was, well how shall I put it - crap :-) (No fingers being pointed, we were one of the crews wo didn't take the timings with us!)

don cook1 Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 Well, I don't want to speak ill of the ..well, you know...but the bloke on the motor bike had a lot to do with the timings going awry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Bancroft Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 Very true Don, Still it weas a bit weird the way that we all met up at the Tunnel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted User Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 Well me and Colin made the meal stop in Italy last time at a reasonable hour.Might have had something to do with my bad navigating,the bit where i told colin to ignore the big blue sign with ITALIA painted on it , pointing left, and drive straight on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raider Posted September 3, 2005 Author Share Posted September 3, 2005 Several things are different this time Jason which I hope will help.1. We will be leaving the Med sooner.2. We are further east for the overnight halt so we have a better start3. We will be using more motorway to get to the interesting bits in the north again4. The route has been planned at lower overall speedsWe will see if this all helps tho :-/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 .....and of course we have the experience of the "recce". Of course all this will count for nowt if some plastic crutch rocket rider decides to make out with nature again :-( I have the utmost confidence in you Mr Raider Sir - anyway, it' just a drive in the countryside, what can go wrong??

Raider Posted September 3, 2005 Author Share Posted September 3, 2005 What can go wrong?Well, just checked the web cam and the place seems to be swarming in pedestrians - some kind of event on.But that is lunchtime on a Saturday - by 8PM it should be a bit different. Must remember to check tonight and see what's going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 Pedestrians! Bull bars and Klaxons it is then :-) Right, I'm off to prepare the car..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
