Hi all,
Now that the route is confirmed, I'm hoping to get over to the Alps to see some stages this year.

For those that have already done it, what's the deal with Wild Camping?
We're hoping to do
Col du Grand Colombier on Stage 10.
Les Sybelles (La Toussuire) which is the finish of Stage 11.
Annonay Davézieux (hopefully) sprint finish of Stage 12.
Is it just a case of driving there parking and parking where you can and join in with the craze or is it best to try and get a site/aire nearby and drive up on the morning?
I was thinking of driving down staying on a night on an aire/site, then driving to Col du Grand Colimbier and wild-it for the night ready for the stage the day after, then driving to La Toussuire and wild-it ready for stage 11 the following day. Then driving down to Annonay Davézieux and getting a site for one or two nights before driving back (over a few nights).
Would love to hear some other stories of peeps who have done it.:thumb:
