Fantastic photos Ed! Looks like you had a really great time. A shame no one from here could go with you.

I love this. I just want to go and give it a big kiss and a cuddle.

Andy, the tolls are not that expensive, bikes pay one third of the price for a car, so for the € use the autoroute. It's far far quicker. Bits I'd rather not have done - well that hill was so damn steep, but you can get to Lake Champex another way, just stay on the main road and turn right further down. The road where I came off really is stupid steep. I'll post up a g-map of that day, it was otherwise an absolutely brilliant route. Otherwise, no, wouldn't have changed anything.

Ed, great pics and story to go with them

I read some last night, i really need a euro trip.

The Switzerland and Italy day. You don't actually go into Martigny. And, I've shown the steep road - if you stay on the main road and then take a right at Sembrancher, then you come to the same place (ish) - lake Champex is nice but you'll see several nicer.
