Re: 2018 Picos & Pyrenees - 10 days - All route days attached
Tonibe63, thank you very much for this info although can't be for us this year as one of our must do roads for this trip is the C-462 which we are doing on the same day as the Smugglers route, but maybe next year!

Re: 2018 Picos & Pyrenees - 10 days - All route days attached
Simon thanks so much for all this information will now spend some time adding your suggestions, seems very cheeky but if you have any road numbers I would find that useful; on the point of why staying in Sort it was really to do the Smugglers trail and have a trip into Andorra, but is by no means se...

Re: 2018 Picos & Pyrenees - 10 days - All route days attached
Thx Tonibe63,
I'm feeling reassured now and think I can cope with a 1/10; is only a day off if we are absolutely Knackered, we always have a rest day planned in but as yet have never not carried on riding!!
Thx again Sir
