UK to Italy, best route....
Hi, I'm hoping you can help. I'm a little bit new to motorcycle travel and touring. I've previously been from UK to Hamburg and obviously found it no trouble, I blindly followed the sat-nav, and had a map for back-up. This time I'd like to travel to Italy, the region to visit is yet undecided but I figured I would explore the west coast.
I have enough time for the trip, but am keen to get there as reasonably swiftly as possible. I understand I have the Alps in the way, I can take a choice of tunnels, or go over the tops. I've studied Google maps, and tried route planning with Google and Via Michelin, but obviously I can't tell what those routes are like, and I'd rather not discover for myself that I planned to go a tough or time consuming route without being aware of what I'm getting myself in for.
Can anyone offer any advice, paste me a route they've taken themselves, or assure me that all the roads are pretty good, and I should take a balanced route based on sat-nav, web routing, and common sense ?
If you do make route suggestions..... Although I want reasonably swift progress (certainly the the way back) I'm not a great fan of auto routes / motorways
I'm probably worrying for nothing ?
