Looks absolutely fantastic. thank you for sharing with us.
looking at the photo with the waterfalls it looks like there's a huge goldfish in there....certainly not what you find at the local fair.  |

Thanks for the photos - looks superb. I was supposed to leave this morning but woke up to a slave cylinder that had exploded
 we are now sat at Folkstone in the wife's car instead. At least it didn't happen on the trip I suppose. Will now reschedule the trip for the 2018 and enjoy two weeks of camping in the sun instead.
I'm going to do a separate post to see if anyone can reccomend some light stuff suitable for a freelander 2 we could try. |

So we set off. Drive to Newhaven a lush 1.5hrs. Ferry left on time and the crossing was smooth
 Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge The initial 5hrs of the journey went to plan and then we hit traffic. Horrible stop start traffic 5hrs from destination. France had decided to travel to the sea! Click image to enlarge Pulled into a service station and popped the rear tent. We all had a 4 hr kip. Re joined said traffic and total drive time less sleep was 18hrs. Ouch.

Sorry not been back. 3G scant in the mountains. Just finished and now working out way back up the French coast for the ferry on Friday. It was epic. Proper adventure around every corner. Will post more photos when back but here is a sample...

Looks excellent. What temperatures did you have for your trip? Also what kind of altitude were you driving at most of the time. Thanks,
James |

Glad you had a good time
The Pyrenees always throws up surprises and is never the same twice. Hope the routes tied in with your plans. Looking forward to seeing some more photos on your return. Have a safe journey home |
