Great Pics and write up Tony. Makes me really miss our place in the Pyrenees – we are heading back for a week in October.
You were really unlucky with the Col du Tourmalet, but lucky that your trip was not a couple of weeks earlier!! The worst rain and snow melt combination for decades! Lourdes was actually underwater up until a couple of weeks ago, believe it or not, and the whole of the grotto area was closed. It is also unusual to see that much snow around this time of year, just goes to show what a fantastic ski season it had been.
Keep me up to date with the northern Spain trip for next year mate. Things are looking up here and a ride from Malta via our pad in France to meet up with you would be fantastic! Where are you looking at? The Picos de Europa?
Some stunning pics there and a cracking read.
Abbey Road spoilsport – funny
Panaché – hilarious!Me and my bloody spellink
I was really surprised at the wonderful atmosphere of Lourdes at a devout atheist – very nice.
Happy days, thanks lads, and once again to Radar for the write-up.
As for the Abbey road pic – I was waiting for my beard to grow!These were posted on another forum, it shows the other end of the road down from Col du Tourmalet

Thanks for the feedback Martin. It is an amazing area, great roads and the views are well beyond my ability to describe them.
Be great if you join us on the next run. I hadn’t really thought about a specific part of northern Spain to be honest, but I would like to drop slightly to check out Burgos too. The E623 (?) to there from Santander is supposed to be a really serious strip of tarmac…
