Afternoon sir,

I might join you for a day if work/family schedules allow.

I'm currently sat about a mile off the route (near Cluses) so it's not far for me to come and play.

After a quick glance it looks like it follows the same climb out of Briançon that we took on the TNR, no?

Should be a good trip.

Did this a few years ago, and it was fab.

We did suffer one casualty from getting a bit carried away descending in the wet!!!
