In 11 days time, Armed with an R1200GS TE and my better half on the back to keep me in check we will be stretching are biking legs and heading off over to the Pyrenees.
Not only is this the first time for us embarking together on a purely biking adventure but it is also my first time heading over into the realms of Europe by road.
I know there is always the debate on whether to have or not to have a plan/itinerary BUT I DO!
That does not mean i have or must or will stick to it but i have one there to either follow if all go's well or amend if i wake up too hung over one morning!
So here is my plan roughly;
Plymouth - Santander
Santander - Pamplona (1 Night)
Pamplona - Luchon (3 nights)
Luchon - Carcassonne (2 Nights)
Carcassonne - Andorra (1 Night)
Andorra - Murillo de Gallego (1 Night)
Murillo de Gallego - Pamplona (1 night)
Pamplona - Santander - Homeward Bound
The rest i will leave to biking gods!
Anyone heading that way? Anyone already been to these place and have recommendations? Anyone think its unachievable or a bit stretched? Any must Do's or must See's?
Any comments of wisdom or knowledge will be much appreciated and probably prevent me getting a good hiding from the missus if i balls up!
Cheers,
Andy.
Ps My Missus isnt actually a fire breather.
