I like the quote "A spokesman for Bridgend Fire and Rescue Service said the sheep had got on to the roof by climbing out of the bedroom window"

Great to meet you all at Nell's Cafe, or should I say just Jontymo

Lucky enough we were all able to get together a few miles further down the road.
It was good chatting to you all and I really enjoyed the cruise down to Dover with you

.
Hope you all enjoy your Spanish cruise and maybe we'll meet you again sometime in the future.

Here are some photos from today:-

Bon voyage!

Great Pics Ragtop & Zeddonna.

Nice meeting you both, hope to meet again soon, thanks for the escort down to Dover

jontymo · Post by **jontymo** » Thu 16 Jun, 2011 21:36

Well at long last the trip has started

With a night at Woburn Sands (Milton Keynes)

A few beers

And a Curry

Good to meet up with Zedona and Ragtop even though the rest of the group tried to make a run for it!!!

And then led down to Dover by our very welcome guests

A last 1 for tonight

So its 23.30 and everyone is tucked up in bed, just under 500 miles done with another 450 tomorrow to get us to the farmhouse in the Pyranees so up at 7am and a quick departure.

Wayne's probably going to have nightmares after the experience that is driving around Paris

and the walkie talkies came into their own saving more than 1 wrong turn.

So off to bed and will post more as and when the next wifi zone is acquired.

Night all

Jontymo

Fantastic day today, Paris to Asque in the Pyrenees. What a welcome we got from Peter and Miriam who run the B&B we are stopping at, treated us like family. The food was everything you could ask for, and the accomodation is amazing. The location is superb with breathtaking views, Jon may well put some pics on later on

seasurfer · Post by **seasurfer** » Sun 19 Jun, 2011 16:27

Do we think they've got lost

maybe they made swamper lead so they could keep an eye on him

jontymo · Post by **jontymo** » Mon 20 Jun, 2011 06:48

Hi all

We have been a bit slow with the piccys/updates due to sun/beer and plenty of wine

The temperatures started to get better

The farmhouse in Asque was fantastic, Peter and Miriam did a great job of looking after us and kept us well fed and watered in what was a beautiful location.
The ride down to the farmhouse was a little wet and muddy and very steep!

Enjoying the location after another 500 miles

Que for the tunnel into Spain at 8 degrees due to being so high up in the pyranee's

It was a long tunnel!!!!!

We came out on the Spanish side into bright sunshine and low 20's

jontymo · Post by **jontymo** » Mon 20 Jun, 2011 06:58

More pictures from the entrance into Spain

Beware of Avalanche!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Arrived at the Villa's, time for a dip

and then the good old barbi with Jim trying out his new cooking style!

Trip to salou

Thats it for now, we are packing the cars and going out for a run in the mountains, tapas for lunch and onto a deserted beach.

Pity you couldn't make it billz them roads are the best iv ever seen

Before Jon puts that pick up all I'm going to say is they should provide a little box for you to stand on when you need a wee
