Hi all,

I have a week off from work, 9th October - 18th and have decided to embark on a fairly ambitious European roadtrip in the short time that I have. The hotels have been booked but I would be grateful if any of the more seasoned road trippers could give me a bit of advice about my planned route - routes nearby, things to see and avoid along the way.

It will be me and the partner, travelling in a Porsche Boxster. As the weather is on the change, i'm a bit nervous about the lack of winter tyres although I am happy to purchase some snow chains. A lot of driving too, over 3,000 miles but i'm up for it! Route planned as below...

Day 1 (Friday evening) - Bristol - Portsmouth. Overnight ferry Portsmouth - Caen.

Day 2 Caen - Peaule (visitng family for a few hours) - Toulouse
Route

Day 3 Toulouse - Millau bridge - Monte Carlo
Route

Day 4 Monte Carlo - Pisa - Montepulciano - Lake Trasimeno
Route

Day 5 Lake Trasimeno - Pesaro
Route

Day 6 Pesaro - Misano circuit - Modena - Venice
Route

Day 7 Venice - Milan - Lake Como
Route


Day 8 Lake Como - Stelvio Pass - Stuttgart
Route


Day 9 Stuttgart - Donchery
Route

Day 10 Donchery - Reims - Epernay - Calais - Bristol
Route


Thanks!
