Engineer finally signed off on Idris´ mods today - the last step on the long journey of getting it back on the road - so finally have all my paperwork in order.

I´ll be heading over to Bilbao end April to get upto the ABR Ireland bash, so will likely take a few days to run through the midi-Pyrenees. No idea what route I´ll end up on, so not particularly helpful in answering the point about recommendations, but I do love to wander around and pull up when and...

Decided to just go for it - so ferry up from Spain booked - as is accommodation off-site at the Leitrim Lodge. Looking forward to it already!
