Up the Alps – August 2010
All,
There will be 8 British Atoms (and a Crate) travelling across France and around the Swiss Alps from August 6-15. If anyone wants to come and say hello or tag along for a part of the trip, you're very welcome. Our overnight stops will be: Rugy (FR), Meiringen, Klosters, St Moritz, Joinville (FR), Sedan (FR).

Have just got back from Klosters myself (via Andermat). Some very good roads. Can recommend St Moritz as well.

A couple of videos of this trip are online - filmed and edited on Bart's iPhone.
A short (1min) video and a longer 7 minute video featuring most of the footage from the shorter vid plus a lot more...

Good job on the video. I enjoyed it. What were those animals, beavers, giant squirrels, or what?
