Seems that we have failed to have an AGM for 2 consecutive years now. Hopefully we can change that this year.
Is there any interest in a return to form this year. Hopefully if we start planning now we can get something in the diary before everyone gets booked up.
We could do the usual loop or another route if anyone has any ideas. Alternatively, if anyone wanted to make a weekend of it we could do a modified version of this http://www.exclusive-rentals.ch/en/alpine-tours/ba... though obviously not staying at Badrutts (possibly at the top of Stelvio so we can get an early clear run or two).

Shame, as I always enjoyed a little run through the alps
Ive got the outline of a plan on my head, but I've got one eye on the weather at the moment. I've already cancelled a trip to Stelvio this weekend because the weather is looking awful.
Basic idea is to meet in Koblenz early morning and do a big loop from there. I've never driven in the BF though, so if anyone with more experience has a better start point or has a specific route in mind, I'm all ears.

I'll send you a PM this afternoon with some suggestions but initially don't cross the border as a convoy, might be better to meet somewhere in D....
Thanks - did you send it. I can't see anything...Edit - just arrived now. Cheers

AFAIK
Route has been reviewed - but not yet confirmed
Weather was looking good - then OK - then acceptable - and now concerning. Accu says 69% chance of rain - with it saying "Shower and Thunderstorm around"
Thoughts?
Given you spoke to me 5 minutes ago about this, I would say yes that's a good summary!Route has been reviewed - but not yet confirmed

Thank you to JMGS4 for the route, looks good. DK proposed some small alterations. Accuweather has a more optimistic view of the weather than Google. I propose to wait until tomorrow lunch and make a final decision, given how changeable the weather is at the moment.
My preference is for as early a start as possible, to have the roads as quiet as we can, but again weather dependent.
The weather looks like rain all day long on Saturday.
Personally, I would prefer the Exige not to come out in the rain. I propose to postpone until the weather gets better. Only problem is I'm booked up until September.
I've also looked at weather down in the Gotthard/Grimsel triangle and it doesn't look much better.
JMSG has very kindly produced a route, which DodgyKen has tweaked a little. Big thanks to both! If you want it, let me know either on here or by PM and I'll send it on.
If only we were going today!
