Hello Everyone!
Just thought I’d contact Base Camp and let you know, we’ve had a a good couple of days getting down through France to the Spanish border ready to climb into the Pyrenees from Cerbere at the Perpignan end.
Will keep you up to speed.
Ta Ta for now!
Davey Boy!

Yes enjoy, we went over in the 70's during the summer cannot remember which month but we hit snow well short of the top, the Rover SD1 handled it fine though, Rick

Thanks Rick,
possible snow remnants on higher slopes but massive electrical weather at the moment.
Will post pics of our journey.

Wild camping is great, much better than campsites. Can't wait till I'm out again.
