Insert your transitions in time with the music. It subconsciously makes the video flow better to the view.
End to ski hosting in France

I haven't bothered reading the whole thread, and this point may well have been raised, but I've been lead to believe one of the (and they seem to be few and far between) positives of being part of the EU was to avoid problems like this.

Just the purpose built ones...Walked from Lake Geneva to the South Coast once, walked through nearly every ski resort along the way - There are more pretty villages than you'd realise :D If anything it's mostly villages and few Purpose builts - like Tignes le Lac... Eyesore! just they're so horrible you remember them more...


Love Tignes. Been there three years in a row, and intend to go again in the new year.

Different strokes.....
Helmets .... Is it a Brit thing.

I can confirm I am British, don't wear a helmet, and have just returned from a trip unscathed. I did however bang my head in the cupboard under the stairs whilst putting my stuff away.

Oh the irony...

Technically none, as my journey starts tonight.

Drive down to Calais, get a 3:40 Ferry in the morning, arrive in Val Claret for about 17:00ish all being well.

Bib/braces look ridiculous when you arent wearing the jacket though, thats the whole point. Like when you stop for lunch or drinks.....

Whats your beef with coloured sallopettes then?


No beef, mine are bright green! All the more reason for not worrying about the braces.

Again I disagree they look ridiculous. What's more ridiculous (in my opinion) is someone trying to walk in ski boots.
