Default short notice pico's and pyrenees log of 10 day tour

There may be a spare place going on this year's annual run if anyone is interested, as Elliott may have to pull out for family reasons.

Departure date Sunday 23rd May - Plymouth to Santander overnight ferry.........retur n date Tuesday 1st June - Boulogne to Dover - 9 nights/10days

Itinery is -
Depart 4.00pm Sunday 23rd from Plymouth - overnight ferry to Santander in Spain
2 nights at a hotel in Potes on the edge of the Picos http://www.cantabria.com/establecimi...blecimiento=10
Half way across Pyrennees on spanish side, with an overnight stop at a hotel in France, http://www.grand-hotel-de-france.com/index.php
Trip up the Pic du Midi following day, http://www.picdumidi.com/picdumidi.htm

then over to the Med side for a few nights over at Chez Sidey - accommodation basic & self catering, but free ! http://www.tautavel.com/
Thursday to Monday doing the Eastern Pyrenees/Andorra/Med coast road or just chilling out in in a nice French village
Then a 2 day ride up through France via Viaduc De Millau & Le Mans, stopping at a Campanile on the way up.
Return Ferry at 5.00pm on Tuesday 1st June from Boulogne.

Ferry crossings are £150 going over (this includes bunk in a shared cabin) plus £30 return
Hotels average 40 Euros a night - 4 nights total
Apart from that it's food, drink, petrol & some tolls in France

There will be 4 of us going - & there will have to be some room sharing.
There will also be some challenging mountain roads & some big mile days, including some on motorways coming home.
Trip miles on this one will be 3000-4000, depending on how much day tripping we do, so fresh rubber & a service before going is essential

Anyway, lettuce snow before Friday if interested, as I have to alter ferry bookings
