Filling locations - It should be pointed out that LPG on forecourts is not as readily available as bottled gas (which can be bought at almost every large supermarket and most filling stations). There are several sites on the internet showing where LPG can be bought - see our links page. In France it’s not hard to come by, and by using the sat nav to find petrol stations when we’re in a large town we’ve found stations in Bourg St. Maurice at SuperU supermarket filling station, Cluses at a Total filling station and in Thonon-Les-Bains at Carrefour petrol station. We also spotted a Relais station on the road out of Chamonix selling LPG, which is where we filled up for the first time. ‘Total’ brand garages carry a free map showing all of their filliing stations in France which sell LPG. This covers Total, Relais, Avia, Auchan and Elf stations as well as a few others. It also includes details of LPG ‘professionals’ where you can get LPG vehicles or installations repaired. The map is not totally exhaustive as most larger supermarkets sell LPG in their filling stations too. (more…)

We went out in Morzine to meet up with Mike and Sarah for a few drinks.

It sounded like somewhere I had been taken when in Avoriaz a few years ago. Mike and Sarah said one day soon we could go riding together and they would show us those runs, which will be good.

We started the day with the intention of going to Cluses to refill our LPG. We changed over to our second gas bottle about a week ago, so a refill was well overdue. Since we knew it was Tanc’s day off work and this was his first chance to snowboard in 2 months we decided to text him to see if he fancied meeting up for a few hours of snowboarding. It’s great to snowboard with other people, so we thought if Tanc was up for it then we would risk leaving the LPG trip until another day. (more…)

The destinations given above are the examples of stunning beauty of Canada. Thumbs Up.

If you’re going to include provincial parks, Writing on Stone Provincial Park in Alberta should be included. It’s the sunniest place in Canada, regularly above 35 degrees in the summer months, has a quiet campground and gorgeous landscape that one wouldn’t expect in the southern prairies.

Banff is spectacular but is set up for hotel stays and day trips, not camping, unless you’re going into the backcountry. You’ll be surrounded by massive RVs otherwise.

25/03/2008

Banff is nice and I like that you mentioned Jasper National Park as a side trip. Jasper Journal http://www.jasperjournal.com has photo gallery and a lot of travel info about Jasper. Depending on what a traveler wants to get out of visiting a park, Jasper can be a top choice.
