It's been a few days since i've managed to get on here but after an epic journey out to Bormio which started early on Tuesday morning we have arrived safe and sound in Bormio with everything set-up and ready to go for tomorrow when the athletes arrive tomorrow....

Our travel day looked something like this:

11.45pm Monday - Depart

02.00 Tuesday - Ferry Dover - Dunkerque

19.00 Tuesday - Collect New Transporter from Germany (Friedrichshafen)

21.05 Tuesday - Arrive at Davos Tunnel (closed at 20.50)

21.20 Tuesday - Find Garage selling chains to go over pass.

21.22 Tuesday - Realise no chains on sale to fit our tyres.

21.23 Tuesday - Curse a lot.

21.30 Tuesday - Give up and search for hotel.

22.45 Tuesday - Find hotel (closed but beg for a room).

23.30 Tuesday - Realise staying in massive hotel as the only guests is pretty scary.

00.00 Tuesday - Sleep! Aaaaah!

08.00 Wednesday - Wake up to even more new snow...... get excited..... curse again at lack of chains.

8.30 Wednesday - Back to Davos tunnel and informed of new 'winter price scheme and late night opening hours'. Curse again.

11.00 Wednesday - Arrive in Livigno...... CHAINS at last.

13.00 Wednesday - Arrive in Bormio.

 

Moral of the story......... FLY!

 

Anyway all's well that end's well arrived to about 3 foot of fresh powder in town, unpacked, set-up and ready to go!
