Should i drive, or am i mad for thinking about it??

Bugger, that article has started me considering it again, can someone tell me I am mad to drive for a 5 day trip with 2 adults and one child so I can put it to bed in my own mind,

Or am I ????

Tony,
Your plan of driving to the Alps with a car full of screaming adults (plus sleeping child) is insane!
Do not even consider this as an idea.......
:roll:
Job done - hope this is helpful.......
:mrgreen:

If your going to Tignes i'd recommned the train ! Leaves Ashford about 11 am and arrives in bourge aboput 6.30 pm. Jump on a bus and your in Tignes by about 7.30

I think the train is the most expensive form of transport in getting to the alps ….. it is cheaper to fly or even drive :thumbup:

personally ...as I said before , I would drive especially with 2 of you and you go to somewhere near Geneva..its about 9 hrs from the coast and very easy even more so if you don't travel on a Saturday....is the car diesel or petrol as diesel is way cheaper in France than the UK

well the car thing works on my side as I run a BMW sales department so I can take an X5 fuel paid for by company in UK, just got to fill up at folkestone, just done that on way to Disney. That then reduces costs a little.

TBF the cost really isn't the issue ( although the cost of flying is !) as Comfort is banked in the X5, the real issue is the drive back after only 3 days skiing, is it worth it. That is the quandary.

I really want to play the drive game but I will pay the same for 5 days at Christmas with 2.5 days travelling as I will for a weeks package deal in peak time Feb flying.

mmmmmmmm

Now you've explained that more, I'd say yes go for it mate.
