ferny Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 Quoted from MWG445 Only a bit more from Glasgow Prestwick but it arrives at 21:00 or thereabouts. Prestwick to Stansted return can be done for less than Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted User Posted November 10, 2010 Author Share Posted November 10, 2010 For £75 I can fly direct from Prestwick and back to Milan.Time is more of an issue for me than cost.Most low cost carrier flights arrive at Bergamo late at night.Current Ryanair flights eminate from Prestwick, Liverpool and Stansted to Milan (Bergamo).East Midlands starts on 27th March 2011 and Gatwick is also due to start flying direct shortly.There are also direct flights with a similar driving distance to the Stelvio from Verona in Italy and Memmingham near Munich.Everyone could met up on the Stelvio and make their own route plan and timing.We could also make a control on top of the Stelvio for the 10CR using this method.Worth a thought.Jim.

Reg Barton Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 Hmmmmm........ this might sound like a lot of fun.Shall we start a list here of interested people? If we get to, say, half a dozen then it'd be worth a serious look at.I'll start it off with me:-1. Reg Barton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deleted User Posted December 19, 2010 Author Share Posted December 19, 2010 Since the GT6 is up for sale, I'll not be able to do the 10CR, so David Huddy (my RBRR co-driver) and I are already booking our trip for the 3rd week in July to suit our holiday/work committments.Not going to let the lack of a Triumph stop us driving up the Stelvio.Our proposed schedule is fly to Bergamo, pick up the car, then book into a nearby hotel since our flight won't be in till 9:30 at night.Next day the route is proposed as:Bergamo, Lecco, north to the Splugen Pass, Tiefencastel, Davos to Stelvio via the Fluelapass, the single track tunnel to Livigno, Bormio then the Stelvio and stay at a hotel on the pass.Day 2:Up early before the tourists, up and down the Stelvio a few times, then the Gavia Pass, the Vivone Pass, then east towards Bagolino via the Croce Di Domini, then further east to Lake Garda via Gargano then south to the autostrada and the airport for the flight home.Jim.

Deleted User Posted December 20, 2010 Author Share Posted December 20, 2010 Came across this today.BMW Z3 going down the eastern side of the Stelvio - the side with all the hairpins.Not the usual camera stuck on the front of the car stuff.Have a look.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UKfO0QE_Fl4Jim.

Reg Barton Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 Good bit of film Jim - shame it was only with a Z3..... Disappointed with the (lack of) response to a pre-10CR taster - but thanks for the support Ferny! - so perhaps we should tack on to your proposed excursion in July??If you'd be OK with that, then PM me and we can discuss the details...!!Reg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deleted User Posted May 24, 2011 Author Share Posted May 24, 2011 Pass will probably open this weekend, if not sooner.They've just renewed the white line markings today.The Stelvio seems to be clear of snow a good bit earlier than last year.A good summer in the Alps perhaps?Jim.
