We got within 12km of the top of the pyrenees only to be told the road was closed for the week.

Got back last night - spent another 2 weeks with family in a great farmhouse near Bergerac then Carole and I headed over to Navarra in north Spain for 2 weeks with the Bongo and TDM. Took that same route over the Pyranees you found Big Dave - the one which is only open at the weekends [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/ranting.gif[/img]
