Some great places there too. My dad was from Huttwill near Burgdorf. The problem there is parking more than 10 mns without getting fined, never mind camping!

i thought of you a few weeks ago when i was on another obscure corner of the ain and a few other rivers too ( loue and lison)......

Great shots there, dude. I don't know the Lison, but might've trundled along the Loue at some stage - I see it's a tributary of the Doubs (bee doob) and we like that area very much. In September we came down to Luzern, sorry, Lucerne, then across to Bavaria, Innsbruck, Bolzano, back up to the Engadin with really good weather and were all set for the Italian Lakes when ill-health on the home front brought us scurrying (630mls in one day), back to the UK.

I'd never been so far east in Switzerland and liked it a lot.

no parking tickets round my way, too scary for them........

I enjoyed that so much I didn't want you to go home!

i lived in the grisons for a year (1980-81) but never go east these days. in the west it's more convenient to pop over the border to france.

catch you one of these days when you don't just fly past.

Ah! we might meet one of these days. We always spend a week in Arc et Senans at the mother in law's place in July. The Loue is great in the summer, and the restaurant in Quingey too!
Great via ferrata not too far north of Besançon for the sporty guys like my son. I just wait at the bottom and look after the beer!

i'll help with the beer.
