Pyrenees and back

[subtle]

Hello,

A montage of a recent trip to the Pyrenees on the MTS950 - comfy, reliable, perfect machine

super clip - thanks for sharing  - how many miles covered on that trip ?

[subtle]

Thanks Buzzard, it was about 2900 miles in total (from Oxfordshire) that included mostly back roads on the way home through France.
The Pyrenees isn't as popular a destination for bikers as the alps, yet in my opinion it offers equally if not better roads and scenery without the masses.

Excellent video thanks

Yeah, great well thought out video. I liked the underwater shots. Steven Spielberg should be worried 

Not done the Pyrenees. One to add to the bucket list. Shhh, don't tell Mrs Wassers

Thanks chaps, yes there's only so much footage you can use from a camera strapped to a lid before people get bored :)
The wind noise was bad too hence the music...
Totally recommend that area though, if anyone is considering feel free to ask any questions, we covered quite a large area crossing the border into Spain several times too.

....and having done the long trek down and back through France would you do that again or take the ferry to Santander if you were to do it again ?

This time I wanted to see rural France so decided to hit as many D roads right through the middle hitting some coast on the way, it too 3 days to do this from the mountains.  It also ticks the box for me to know that I have ridden through France properly as it were and avoiding the motorways.
Would I do the Pyrenees again I'd definitely consider taking the ferry, it certainly would be a more relaxing way to get there but not much quicker (suppose this depends on where you live in UK). But the thought of starting at the foothills fresh as a daisy is hugely appealing :)
Croatia is next on the bucket list but again the problem is getting there in good time without busting balls!

I've not tried them, but Bikeshuttle maybe an option too. They transfer your bike and kit to Toulouse or Geneva.

Has anyone tried them?
