So with all the prep finally completed well i hoped anyway it was time to make the big trip something i had dreamed of for the last 8 years

So we boarded the ferry in Portsmouth and spent the next day and a half sailing to Santander ready for our Pyrenees adventure

Once we arrived we headed to the desert on route to the Mediterranean coast to start our traverse

Day 2 found a beautiful track with a stunning view at the top

One night the awning got a bit damp so ended up drying it out at 2200m during a lunch stop before heading into Andorra

Leaving Andorra via the infamous smugglers route

A bit of an eerie track along side a disused Ski slope that hasn't been used since 1987 with chair lifts still intact!
