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

Ah borrax, back down the mountain until we can take another route over the hills.

It was meant to be an adventure wasn't it ?

on the yellow one

atencion = beware
en periodo invernal =in winter time (for 850 only)
maquina quitanieves trabajando =snow ploug in use(850 turn around)

the orange one said you need to respect all the road signs (doesnt apply for tdm).
Love the idea of a sign telling you to obey signs [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rotflmmfao.gif[/img]

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]

Great time at all the venues - loadsa laughs at the RTT and good rideouts. Nice to meet new faces and meetup with old ones.

Here's a couple of pics and a link to some more........... http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v641/dan...%20and%20Spain/
