Ron the main focus is the Pyrenees…so the trip through France is mostly a transit….albeit now on nice D and N roads and trying to limit driving to 3 or 4 hours a day max..Millau Viaduct is on the list to view today…
We choose to go to on with this endeavour at this time and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard…

From Brive down to Millau via some lovely empty roads and stunning scenery done through the Lot Gorge
Crazy mad thunder and lightning overnight and last night when we were in a restaurant but only got caught for a few minutes in a shower today whilst driving
Bit cooler today only around 29*
Here’s a few pics from today

Day N where N means I’ve lost count…Saint Leon’s to Capmany…two places you probably never heard off..
Saint Leon’s is in an area of ancient woodlands..
Great Causses Regional Nature Park Parc naturel régional des Grands Causses
Capmany is an old fort town a few miles into Spain..
Earthdweller had an interesting route through the hills, breaking the glaze on my pads and checking out bountifully that me new steering and suspension components are tickey-boo..
Lovely family run bed and breakfast in the sleepy but noisy village of Saint Leon’s..
A Chris de Burgh quasi Spanish castle for our next two days..
I’m sure more road and scenery shots from the day including the Millau viaduct are coming..
Car no 5 has had to pull out due to Covid infection yesterday..

Its a pity you missed a visit to Carccassone which wasn't far off your route
You don't stop playing when you get old - You get old when you stop playing!
So I bought a 35is with all the toys to play with.

Pyrenean Road Trip 6th-15th September 2022
For this interested here are the route taken ..
Using info from “best biking roads” and the best I could find from proper paper maps
The natural parks were stunning .. fabulous roads akin to good flowing U.K. A roads and twisty B roads
Great surfaces and very little traffic apart from be big towns which we mostly avoided
Lots of positives from other road users .. letting us out, thumbs up, waves and slower vehicles pulling in to let us pass
All in all .. pretty good so far and I’ve whist kicked over 1000 miles in 6 days
The first part of the routes attached I did solo down from Roscoff to Saumur

Day whatever..Capmany…lovely little originally a Spanish Fort town to Andorra La Vella..
Only in theory a couple of hundred km of driving but 5 hours on the road not including stops..
Party split due to SWMBO going down with migraine and extreme bend swinging for many kms taking its toll…
Spending the night in this bustling microcosm of capitalism worship..
Nice hotel right in the centre…
This route certainly checked out any steering, braking issues..
