camera and sat nav are sorted. although my mate is in charge of nav for the most part.
Stella aplina isnt an official rally, 2nd sunday july every year though a load of people go there for the highest altitude motorbike meet in europe, 3009m.

Thats from the campsite at 2000m up to the actual 'meet' at the top
Cheers

FWIW I don't bother getting cash. Most things can be paid for by card, and you can withdraw using a debit card easily enough. You pay a bit more commission, but if you're really interested in minimizing commission costs, you're better off getting a prepaid currency card (like Caxton FX), which also cuts most ATM charges.
I have one each for dollar and euro. ____________________ Bikes: S1000R, SH350; Exes: Vity 125, PS125, YBR125, ER6f, VFR800, Brutale 920, CB600F, SH300x4
