Forgot to say that my trip is all sorted out now too. My clashing event is still too close to allow a normal Monday UK departure with the convoy, so I will leave on a Tunnel on Tues 3rd Sep and stop over in Langres en-route, meeting up in Grindelwald on Weds with you lot. A change of hotel for me this year as I will try the Tschuggen with its parking, just up the road from the K&P etc. I leave Sun 8th for a dash home via Spa to meet up with some friends. Looking forward to it.
And for Heaven's sake and for the sanity of the entire Planet, please, please, please make the poxy sun shine this year eh!!

Here is some further detail on the planned routes to and from Grindelwald. The Google map links are for info and the times and distances are based on Garmin routes. I’ll add some potential lunch stops into the GPX routes and circulate these nearer the time. For a few of the days there are alternative routes which we can pick on the day. As we will be a fairly large group going out we may well split up. Some of the group may prefer an early start to allow getting to the destination in time for some sightseeing, whereas others might prefer a more leisurely departure. We can decide nearer the time how this will work. Don’t forget to order a Swiss Motorway Vignette (£32.00 and select free postage to UK): https://switzerlandtravelcentre.co.uk/excursion/motorway-vignette-switzerland/For Triberg to Fiss you will also require an Austria vignette - €9.20 for a 10 day pass from https://shop.asfinag.at/en/Thursday 29th August, Eurotunnel to Ibis Dinant: 09:20 Eurotunnel to Calais Calais to Ibis Dinant 175 miles, 3hr 15 mins, no toll https://goo.gl/maps/dGLsMPwobYr Friday 30th, Dinant to Best Western Trier: 110 miles, 2hr 50 mins https://goo.gl/maps/CiUEYmq1gxy Saturday 31st, Trier to Garni Central Triberg: 185 miles, 4 hours, avoiding A4 toll. https://goo.gl/maps/BffEeeSKUTuUV5Mv5 Sunday 1st September, Triberg to Alps Lodge Fiss: 190 miles, 3hr 50 mins, Austria Vignette required https://goo.gl/maps/EHaPhBKiXZ8DAW2w6 Monday 2nd, Fiss to Rezia Bormio, via Stelvio pass: 75 miles, 2hr 5 mins (more if you repeat the pass!) https://goo.gl/maps/dVnwLcDA4ZqAq8Rg9 Tuesday 3rd Bormio to Pontevecchio Lecco: Direct: 90 miles, 2hr 30 min: https://goo.gl/maps/hcLSvvDDVCdZwwxU7Scenic 120 miles, 4 hours: https://goo.gl/maps/fjrhYs4kJiS5mPrP7Wednesday 4th Pontevecchio to Grindelwald: Via St Gotthard pass and Sustenpass: 175 miles 4hr 10 min: https://goo.gl/maps/y74HfMmHsaQxbMhw7In case of bad weather it may be sensible to take the St Gotthard tunnel: 165 miles, 3hr 55 min https://goo.gl/maps/Z15Xt8i2U2N5ubhA6----------- 5th – 7th Jungfrau Treffen----------- LEISURELY RETURN Monday 9th September, Grindelwald to Grand Hotel Du Tonneau D’Or Belfort: 155 miles, 3hr 35 mins: https://goo.gl/maps/nePCcswZRCqDJ3ku9Tuesday 10th, Belfort to Troyes Hotel Relais St Jean: Toll €8.70 175 miles, 3hr 40 min https://goo.gl/maps/71U5V5qXr4J7mcMr9Non toll 170 miles, 4hr 30 min https://goo.gl/maps/8DfcYA7hhUCfYqcr7 Wednesday 11th Troyes to Hotel Du Golf De L’ailette: 105 miles, 3 hours via Eperney https://goo.gl/maps/cQniifpV6E5KzkXD8Thursday 12th Hotel du Golf to Eurotunnel Calais: Toll €17.60 150 miles, 2hr 30 min https://goo.gl/maps/RdEVcD2ZusBHU6377Non toll/highway 155 miles, 5hrs https://goo.gl/maps/TqUdc8haH4gb3AwG717:50 Eurotunnel Calais – Folkestone.

Thanks for the info and all the work on the routes, looks excellent. I will certainly buy an Austrian Vignette as well as a Swiss one this year, much cheaper than the fine!

Hi Max, Of course, it'll be great to have you along . For the Jungfrau-Treffen you should register on the website and/or contact Laurens who is the organser. http://www.m3w-jungfrau-treffen.com/If you want to join the UK convoy that would be cool. You'll need to make your own hotel bookings and just let me knw where you would be joining so we can look out for you.
