Uk, Santander, Picos, Andorra , France Run 2010 Early June - amarko5 - 21-01-2010

Anyone interested in acompanying me on a run as briefly described above ???? answers in the next 2 days as i need to start booking

hoping to take about 8-10 days off work to do the trip costs around 30 - 40 euros per night Twin room (ooh err) food and fuel on top of that.


work colleagues that went last year (just southern france) spent around a grand each in total.

i will be using hotels B@B can't be arsed wid camping (getting old) LOL

this trip will include a fair amount of time trying out the pyrenees passes.

I thought you were going down in a group Mark !
If you're going down on your own, I'm off down there in late May for a few days to swap bikes over - could tag along with you
I have to be back before 4th June though, as the MOT runs out on me Mk2 I've got down there [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Got a free billet down there, within sight of the Pyrenees as well [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/good.gif[/img]

Let me know ........will be away until Sunday night though .....emergency rugby jolly in Limerick this weekend [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/drinks.gif[/img]

Hi Dave I have no problems with you tagging along, I am just waiting to speak to Mick(sunday night) to see if the dates and itinery fit in with his plans.

Looks like its the wrong time for Tedium (unfortunately)




Uk, Santander, Picos, Andorra , France Run 2010 Early June - sidestand - 24-01-2010

Nice talking to you again mark - much more relaxed than that last time when I was in Casualty & under the morphine [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/blink.gif[/img]

Here is a link to that hotel in the Picos we stayed at on our CMC 'Wrong ay Round' Tour http://www.fade.es/torretours/home.htm
Smashing place, but I see the prices have gone up a bit (more likely down to the crap exchange rate)

Take a look at the photo links Gaz & Mitch (Avonne) posted up on this CMC thread about the Picos & Pyrenees tour to get a flavour of things down there [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/good.gif[/img]

http://dashack.co.uk/gocmc/index.php/topic,4895.0.html

And here's a link to the Tautavel website .......you can almost see our house from there [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img]


http://www.tautavel.com/


I'll get a few pics up over the next week or so.


BTW ......sorry Tedeum, I only just saw your post, otherwise I'd have given you a ring
Mind you, speaking as an impartial observer (Tigers fan - sob!) Geraghty won that match for you, not your front row ! [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif[/img]

I had a pint waiting for you in Quiltys! It was the worst match I have ever seen but I liked the result. That's the measure of a good team - they can grind out a result when they need it. Looking at the draw a Munster-Leinster final is still possible.
