The original plan after Cortina was to head to Gmund , the birthplace. We’d worked out before we set off from the U.K. that we really couldnt fit everything in on the Sunday .
So, Gmund removed from the plan, we concentrated on the cross country driving with the main aim of hitting the famous Grossglockner
Our usual 9:30am start and we headed out of Cortina and onto some stunning roads . We did think it was slightly strange that people were standing at the roadsides in all the villages we passed through ... soon became apparent we were heading straight into a cycle race
. H&S being so different in Italy, we were waved down and got out to watch.
We had a great run on from here, out of Italy and back into Austria
The roads towards the southern side of Grossglockner opened up nicely... bit of a close call with the police wound is back for all of 5 mins
