Pyrenean Road Trip 6th-15th September 2022

[Zebthezed]

Did version of this trip in 2018 in Audio TT.. Plymouth Santander crossing to start with was best decision! DON'T underestimate size of France! (apologies for egg suckling! )... Pyrenees has best driving roads in Europe.. surfaces like Donington and 10th of Alps traffic volume.. Basque region has its own culture and diet remember... people lovely but menus can be "unusual"!
Overall- VERY difficult to call between Pyrenees and French/Italian/Swiss/AustrIan Alps... If we're REALLY lucky they'll restart the motorail from Calas to Nice (suspended in 2011)... you arrive as dawn breaks ..through the lavender fields. . Into Nice.. roll your car off and straight onto Route Napoleon !!.. magical.

All noted thnx…yes that’s in part why we are taking the Spanish ferry back to give us more time or less miles per day especially hammering along the autoroutes.

Been to Andorra many times by car n bike in the ‘80s and flew around there in the noughties but not been there since then so looking forward to this trip

Hello yes I've pm'd you with some initial info..best Peter

Is there a space left on this one, and if so would you mind PMing me the itinerary and a rough idea of the costings? I have just been surprised by my new passport arriving a lot quicker than expected, am owed some time off work, and have an only-just-run-in G29 on the driveway that could be up for some fun... The devil, as always, will be in the details, but I figure I might as well ask!

It’d definitely be properly run in by the time we get off the motorway stuff to let the fun commence on the southern part of the run

I know, it’s great

I’m more interested in where my tyre tread has gone since then

I know, it’s great

I’m more interested in where my tyre tread has gone since then

Or whether a set of tyres will get you there and back

Perhaps pre order a set for Santander ?

I’m hoping the new ones will at least get me back to the U.K.
