MG MGA - How many A`s are there in Mont Blanc?

Well last week the answer was 6!

Mine and 5 other MGAs drove down from the UK for a tour of the Mont Blanc Massiv and had the time of our lives.

It was I believe Brooke Midgley who suggested the idea to Stuart Mumby, the MGA register President and Stuart forwarded the idea to all to see if there would be any interest!
Well after a few micro seconds had passed I emailed him back to say to count me in!

So on tuesday 10th July we all met high up in the Italian mountains in the Aosta valley having made our own separate ways to the hotel from the UK.

Our party included Bob Cole and his friend Linda in their lovely Twin-cam, Roger Martin and his son Tom in a 1600, Roger Webb and his wife Liz in a 1500, Brooke and Arlene in their 1600, Stuart and Irene Mumby in an MGB engined 1600 and my brother-in-law Ian and myself in a similar car (but with no bumpers).

So I decided to blunder my way through producing a blog of the trip, this is my first ever attempt at a blog and I had no idea what I was doing most of the time.

If anyone would like to have a look at it, it is called mgaventures.wordpress.com

Please forgive the amateurish look of it and the random nature of the posts.
I didnt even realise that all posts a have a life span and that older posts drop of the bottom end like entries on Facebook.
Im still trying to make sure that everyone on the trip gets a mention and a photograph so its definitely a work in progress!

If you want to start at the beginning you can look up older entries by clicking on "July 2012" under Archive at the lower Rt side of the blogs page.

Thanks Ken, Im still buzzing about the trip, it was something I will never forget.

I have always wanted to take the car on a tour of Europe and I had planned to go two years ago when the car celebrated its 50th birthday and me my 60th.
But family health problems caused us to cancel that idea which is why I jumped at the chance to go on this trip.

Im still learning about blogs as i go along, I actually wrote about half a page on my blog each day, but I didnt realise that each time I posted a picture, it just wiped off the all of the text I had done.

I am going to try re enter the stuff from memory (which will be a challenge), it wont be quite so relevent but hopefully will be of interest.

Cheers

Colyn

( Already starting to save for the next trip.)
