Oh nice one, i'll give that a go at the weekends (something to do!). I was going to ask the best place to go for a drive, any idea of a destination I can put on my sat nav to point me in the right direction?

Ok then, I'm not sure how far you would like to drive for the roads I know to be good fun as they are around 100km from Schaffhausen.

1) Head to Wehr in Germany (near Bad Sackingen) on the Swiss/German boarder. Follow signs to Todtmoos from Wehr.

2)Todtmoos to St. Blasien.

3)St. Blasien to Gorwihl.
(The above route was given to me by a fellow PHer and is a favorite of mine)

There is also a lovely drive from Todtnau (a little further north of Todtmoos) to Freiburg which is outstanding.

A bit closer to home is Schluchsee but I cannot remember any of the routes I have driven as it was a few years ago I was there. I do remember the scenery was spectacular and I had good fun driving

May I also suggest that you have a little drive around the Bodensee area just to the SW of you. Very pretty and all of the tourists should have gone back by now!
I have it all planned and i'm ready to go, roll on Saturday!! In total i'll do approx 170 miles :-)

I did a google map search from Todtnau to Freiburg and god it looks like fun! Thanks again krallicious

Okay i'll buy a map. I'm thinking about maybe going to Zurich to have a look round tomorrow and do the drive on Sunday as I believe everywhere is shut on a Sunday?

I was so bored last night in Neuhausen (thats where i'm staying), anyone around these parts who fancies a beer?
