Pyrenees - Form a group or join one?

I’ve been away with mates in the past that hunt out a McDs
so ...coming back from Rimini one time , having camped on one of the St Bernard passes , i was going past a McD's , i spied 3 gs's in the car park .
parked up , found them, gave them the Tosser's wave , bloke stuffing his face said hello , had a chat , and i carried on .
we had met at CT's funeral .
he asked where my friends were , i said i had none .
 
I guess the OP has:

A. Given up on inviting anyone.

B. Given up on seeking (and acknowledging) any help.

C. Found a better meaning in his life.

I’ll move the post, not least as it’s about as close to an open invitation for Tossers to take part, as I am to Morris Dancing.
 
I have a regular touring group but we don't go away together so often now. Some are older, some have (great) grandchildren or are caring for elderly relatives. 5 of us went to Austria this year, we used to get 9 or more.
If I want to go away and none of the regulars are available, I go solo. I really enjoy this, especially now my joints and bladder mean stopping more frequently. I take days off the bike and enjoy a day wandering around a historic city. I'm off to Spain solo in May.
I think my days of joining a random group of strangers, only known from their online name and posting style are over. Fussy eaters, smokers, gropers, itemised bill types, sexist/racist comments to staff types and those who can't keep their politics to themselves can all fúck off!

Rant over. Good luck finding your people but don't rule out a solo tour.
I read this and thought "Am I Wessie?"

Completely agree on all counts. My tolerance of others has diminished massively as I've got old.

There are about five people I'd happily tour with for a week or more, and even then I need time away from some/all of them at some point.
