|
||||
<p>Departed Cavendish Labs at 4.10pm, having finally got (nearly) all the necessary gear together an dpacked into Earl's van and the
|
||||
Wookmobile (Ol having taken a good amount of gear out already). Mark had passed his driving test a week before, and so I was wondering
|
||||
what the drive woudl be like. I'm pleased to report that it was entirely fine. Mark drove to Dover and we took the 8.15pm Sea France
|
||||
ferry to Calais. Needing some fuel we tried to find the Calais ELF station. As we ended up in a Carrefour carpoark where the 24hr pums
|
||||
didn't take English credit cards, herewith some directions: from the ferry terminal, take the main road out following signs to Dunkirk and
|
||||
Calais centre. At the turnoff for Calais centre, <u>don't go to Calais centre</u> (which is the first exit on the roundabout). Instead,
|
||||
carry on round the roundabout 3/4 to where the ELF station is visible.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Anyway, Mark drove on to just after Brussels. Slightly oddy, we were stuck in a traffic jam at 1:30am getting into Brussels. Quite why
|
||||
was uncertain, but tailbacks several miles at this time of night seemed odd. I drove on from Brussels to within 50km of Frankfurt. By this
|
||||
time it was 6.30am and we decided that some sleep was in order. We pulled off the motorway (leaving he early morning rush hour traffic
|
||||
behind) and found a random layby and deployed carrymats and sleeping bags in the early morning sun. I managed to grab a few hours' sleep
|
||||
before being roasted out of my pit by the sun, but unfortunately Mark was kept awake by a surprising quantity of traffic on this rural
|
||||
road. After a brief breakfast we continued along the A3; I drove to near Regensburg, where Mark took over to complete the journey.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>As we were good and paid up for an Austrian vignette for the motorways, we thought we would try the new motorway from Wles to Liezen
|
||||
rather than the more usual Ried-Volklabruck-Gmunden-Bad Ischl route. This would have been a reasonable choice, not much faster, but
|
||||
somewhat simpler. However, the motorway was still under construction so we got to go round mountains, admiring the new but unused tunnels
|
||||
that will one day carry the motorway through them. As a finale, the 5km road tunnel under the Pyhrnpaß is two-way without any
|
||||
central reservation and only minimal lighting... Anyway, continued on to Liezen and Bad Mitterndorf and so to Bad Aussee, arriving on time
|
||||
for a bier at Hilde's.</p>

Pushed up to waterfall (i.e. floor of rift has risen to our level) and also traversed back to bypass our rigging and return to last ramp
