Seven days to go.



Also included is round 3 of the Blancpain series at Circuit Paul Ricard.

Plan is for some great European touring, some sightseeing and some enthusiastic driving where roads and traffic invite.

Corrected that for you. Never sure whether to bother with tapas anywhere else.

All washed down with the local cider and a great first proper night on tour. Whats not to like...

7 days until we head down! If anyone sees us please come and say hi, we'll be a tour of 7 cars (6 UK and one Dutch plate) heading east to west over 7 days.

We found a lovely tapas place in the old historical square in Ainsa (just up the hill from the main town) , great food and a beautiful location.

Aye we'll have to work on that, not easy with my rotating shift system. North coast of Spain anti clockwise to the Pyrenees next trip in the planning 2017. Fishing harbours (ex Fisherman) and Tapas priority smile

Too much of a cliche. Use your imagination.

Today's roads with the exception of one short section were fantastic.

Has anyone ever done the D922? Just wondering if the toll booth is only open at a certain time?

Been to Luz St. Saveur on the way to the Col du Tourmalet but not heard of that one. It wouldn't suit my car as it's too wide. Sorry, can't help with further details.

We went as far as the toll booth (garden shed) last week but turned around there as we still had 3 more passes to do before the hotel and time was getting on. The road that far was too narrow to be fun even in kit cars. Beyond there it looked to get narrower. Sorry didn't take notice of any opening times.

Not a problem chaps. I'm staying the night in Luz St. Saveur so it's not very far away to have a quick look, and as said it's extreamly tight/twisty, so not too fussed about doing it.
