HBRO Alpine Tour 2002 with Atlas Overland
27th July - 10th August
Were all going on a Summer
Holiday
2 weeks of light weight
camping. Unfortunatly we exceeded the 'standard size requirements' as
outlined by the European directive on tents
Right were here and you
need to get to Joinville. Any ideas?
We make it to the mountains
Commander Woodage in the
distance on our decent from the first mountain drive
Ed Ellis demonstrating
the finer points of Petanque.Mmmm nice boule's
The great thing about the Alps is that wherever you stop for a wee you get such spectacular views
Jim
gets a lesson in table football from Ben Brown
tartiflette night at la
Chambre, but the next morning it was definitly tartifart
Smile dear this is one

A highlight of the trip
was the drive from France into Italy on the Hannibal Trail
Great view, but don't look
down!

OK boys so you managed
to cross, but how are you going to get back?
Mmm very tasty (I mean

I know I asked for a rare
steak, but this one's still breathing!
Commander Nick homes in
for a photo opportunity. Quick turn the spot lights on..
Youve seen it in all the
mags now the HBRO pose on the Off road course at Val d'Isere

home
