Charging across Europe

Just finished booking my summer adventures accommodation, just Le Shuttle to go! I have a Le Shuttle T shirt, bit small for me though.

Counting down to my spring trip too, so keeping an eye on those errant tractors!

Good luck with the EES at Folkestone! So far we’ve managed to miss it during the early roll-out period – both at airports and Le Shuttle, where I believe it is still delayed for passenger cars for the present due to French Border Control still not being ready for it – and despite the impressive and seemingly very well-thought-through facilities that Getlink implemented months ago at Folkstone to cope.

Sadly, I found our last Autumn drive down very tiring (it's me, not the car!) so not sure about driving this year yet ... we'll have to see when the weather gets better.

I booked flexi-plus and that has a priority EES lane, so that helps!
 
This year I'm concentrating on the first of the big As - Altitude.

In 2022 I did Andorra the "Port d'Envalira" at 2408m
In 2024 I did the Stelvio in Italy, plus a bit up in the car park so 2760m

What could I do this year?

There's "Col de l'Iseran" in France at 2764m, could do that in the summer
or
There's "Cime de la Bonette" in France at 2860m, if it's open when I'm near

I plan to do the "Great St Bernard Pass" at 2469m and the "Little St Bernard Pass" at 2188m as well.

I have done The Furka at 2429m, Gotthard at 2106m and Grimselpass at 2164m

That would just leave the "Ötztal Glacier Road" in Austria at 2830m.

The Veleta in Spain's Sierra Nevada whilst reaching 3300m+, is closed to traffic, so doesn't count.

You could also add this place near us called Driebergen (Three mountains).
Type it in to google maps.
They are all together, for a total elevation of 30 metres.
