right i think i'm going to abandon all revision... run to the ports claiming i am a stranded ex pat (at the age of 18 yes) due to the ash and rely upon the charity of some sailor to put me across the channel. While I, bike in hand, plot the latter stages of this plan to get me to the alps.

Still think it's a great photo though, taken above Les Linderets.

Argh! Can't ****ing wait!

How easy is it to find trails in places like verbier. I'm heading out with a mate...we are both riding full DH bikes, so going away from life access isn't going to be that easy, but we're both very keen to get away from the crowds.

Any tips?
