Nice one Red, I knew you'd love it. The N260 goes on for miles and miles and some parts are truly stunning. Torla is a beautiful place too in the heart of Ordesa national park. The lake in the pics look like lake Yesa??

And that really twisty road I reckon is the C28 between Vielha and Sort? Top quality road that one but the last time I was there they were resurfacing it so it ruined it for us.

Great write up  :thumb_up

the national park was great, we had a walk around a small it of it, but i haven't included those photos, could be C28 i loose track of the roads. lots of roads have been resurfaced according to the dear heart, but others being repaired while we rode, not so good as stop surface was gravel, just in the place you needed to be on the road for bends. also seems to be a lot of upgrading of roads to motorway.....

does my bum look big in this.....

Bloody fantastic report Red well done :tup2 Ive done the Pyreenes myself and they're stunning. Morocco for you next year now you've got the adventurer bug :party Well done on the pics they're A1 :tup2

Morocco will have to wait till 2012, i'm doing Iceland next summer, once all the roads reopen after the winter, which should be fun...... so practice practice practice for off roading - i think i have got the adventure bug  :rofl :rofl
