Lang and all others onboard the Greece to Normandy Convoy, Have lot of fun during the trip.
I really admire everyone who joins this trip and will closely follow it through the websites posted by Lang. Maybe these sort of distances are usual in Australia, but for Europeans it is just a long, long.....trip, especially with a column of vehicles older than most of us. I hope to see you guys save and well in Normandy and I am really looking forward to haveing a close look at the Australian vehicles in real life, in stead of on the Computer screen.  p.s. I will staying on the Etreham campsite as well. Look for a red Fiat van and hopefully a restored BSA folding Bicycle! Alex

Simplon Pass
... after heavy snowfall over the past few days, the Simplon Pass has been closed for public traffic.
At Simplon village (1460 m above sea level) it was snowing 67cm in 24h. At the pass (2629 m) over 138cm in a few days. So take out all your warm cloths when entering Switzerland

Aussies in Switzerland
The convoy arrived yesterday in Switzerland. After driving over the Simplon Pass and boarding the trucks onto train waggons through the Furka tunnel (pass is still closed till the end of June because of heavy snow coverage, the convoy drove through the narrow Schöllenen Schlucht. Driving down from Realp to Altdorf, we picked up some lost "sheep" ;-)
The convoy was greated by 50% of the Swiss-MLU population and 100% of the Aussie-MLU-Expads in Germany (Ben). I took the Hedges in the evening to Lucerne, where we had a lovely dinner. Today is another beautiful sunny day. Yesterday the temperature went up to 28 or so degrees! The convoy drives from Seelisberg and crosses the border to France. In Mulhouse they'll visit the Schlumpf Collection. Greetings Chris
