Break the trip up going over it makes it easier. Get houses/hotels booked ASAP as they will go quickly as dates have been announce, about 6th May I think. Be prepared to spend a quid or 2 on petrol lol. It is great out there as the weather is usually fine, we all got tanned quite well. Oh and to work petrol out I did 2500 miles from door to door, but I did all the driving so did about 400 miles at Wortherese and surrounding areas. Plenty to do and see around the area we went up the Glossknocker, 2nd highest peak in Alps, and was a very good day out. Its worth doing and we will be out there ag
