Assorted places in the Pyrenees between Pamploma and Canfranc-Estacion. My old tech doesn't do grid refs.

That's not too bad then, those Hairy Davidson lot seem to enjoy the bigger groups, friendly enough though. 👍

It certainly is! Today I have wandered about in the sunshine, had a lunch and beer in the shade, and not moved the bike. Yesterday was only about 150 miles or so, but over 3 cols on tricky little roads, and then up to a ski resort to finish. Enjoyable, yes, but NOT relaxing.
