Re: passed VRT!!! mot in uk
Hopefully either next year or the year after there will be a few of us joining you guys for a week or so
I want to fly over for a visit anyway (Twiss is gonna buy a second Zuki for me to drive )
But a few of us are thinking about road tripping down

Re: passed VRT!!! mot in uk
How long does it take to drive there? I'm kind of interested in this idea, always loved the idea of a multiple Suzuki epic road trip.
If it ticks over...leave it

As long as we don't break down as much as Twiss it would take a few days, would probably plan for 5 days to get there, 5 days n Malta, 5 days backdonkeychomp wrote:How long does it take to drive there? I'm kind of interested in this idea, always loved the idea of a multiple Suzuki epic road trip.

Re: passed VRT!!! mot in uk
So we should plan for 2 weeks and maybe a tiny bit?
I think that's easily do-able! Overnighting in tents, hostels, or what? I've heard of people doing stuff like this, and sleeping in tents on public land every night - as long as you're gone early, and don't leave any crap behind, they seem to get away with it un-harassed. I might take the pikey palace though...

I would like to try and take the Hannibal trail route through the Alps as well from val d'isere on the way there, pretty much offroad through the Alps into Italy.

Re: passed VRT!!! mot in uk
I would have gone an off road way but as my trailer now has no suspension whatsoever it's probably not a good idea lol
I think it would probably take more than 5 days to get there, we have had just under 2.5 days of driving, only got 100 miles yesterday due to clutch replacement and about 4 hours today
You can clear the alps in 2 days doing 50 most of the way, looking at another 2 very long days to clear the rest of Italy and get the ferry to malta
