A432 and then A43, and on to A48 to Grenoble.
From there follow signs to Briancon and head up the N85 and the N91, and you'll find ADH up a windy road to the left just past Bourg d'Oisans.

Classic.

Is it really that hard? I thought it was really close....close enough for a taxi?

I would be a little concerned, i have been watching the cams as we are off to Belle in early Jan......I cant imagine the nail biting if it were early Dec.

I have all options as i am a true fuss pot.

Contacts and sunglasses are my preferred option but i always carry my glasses in my bag in case the contacts drive me mad. Normally i am ok for about 8 hrs in lenses but after that they really start to itch.

So i go out with my contacts and sunglasses but by normal goggles are in my pocket. In my rucksack is my glasses and my OTG goggles.

My biggest worry is falling and breaking my glasses as they cost me about £500 so i mainly wear my contacts.

I have exactly the same scar!!! except it is now 20 years old.
On the other side of my ankle i have a round scar where my ankle done was screwed on......urgh!

And at 17 years old i sat watching them slit me open and unscrew the pins after 6 months!!

Blimey, i was shocked and stunned to read this thread. Thats outrageous and i'm struggling to get my head round it.
Tony is going with Crystal.

If you wear glasses then a spare pair would be on my list a long with contact lenses and solutions.

Maybe a small tube of temp dental filling material for my dodgy crowns that have a habit of coming off!

I remember seeing that view not long back in the height of winter.....it was very muddy.
