Aye up Phil. Yup, 10 years. Time doesn't half fly which is why I was thinking of a return tripPhil said:Blimey, 10 years ago!
Funny, I was sorting some stuff on the hard drive today & browsed through the pics from that trip.
The day we had a run over the Sestrier (?) was brill
Hows things anyway?
I have to admit Jim that the Stella is something I want to do again, as I've still to venture near the topJimDidIt! said:. . . . . . Don't you fancy a trip to Italy Steve? . . . . . .
Whealie said:I must admit I spotted in my calendar the way the dates fall this year and wrote "Ooh look at the possible trip dates" there. I might be able to leave on 7th (or possibly day before) and afterwards I'd head to Pamplona for the end of the bull running festival, which ends on 14 July.
It's all a bit up in the air though at the moment as my son keeps threatening to return from Australia for a brief visit and if he did time it for his 21st birthday on 14 July, I'd be at home, naturally.
Ten years ago I remember coming home to a group of shocked mums having dinner with my wife: "You are going to Italy to share a hotel room with a complete stranger you have never met before who you met on the internet and you don't even know his real name and the name he uses on the internet is PigUglyShandyDrinker?"
And the rest, as they say, is history.

"You are going to Italy to share a hotel room with a complete stranger you have never met before who you met on the internet and he's a red faced bloke named Chris from dahn sarf??"

Whealie said:I went to Uni in Pamplona so have been back several times. I did go back by bike a few years later - with the guy who been forced to cancel that year. That was 21 years after we had first hitched down together. Mates eh? Stick like sh**....
I'm in discussions with possible firms over investing in/taking over the app, so everything is on hold as I am skint.
The other trip would be a good one. I have been doing some more research on it. It's a long way though. Three weeks minimum and no earlier than Late June due to the snow in northern Norway. I have a cunning plan. Will PM you when I get to my computer.
