Hi John and Jayne - and welcome to the Forum methinks (thumbs)
It was great to meet you both and hear about your Pyrenean tour, etc.
Your combination of biking with climbing and hiking has had me thinking about this theme once again - i don't climb but often try to combine biking with hiking.
I've met a fair few bikers on tour with some limited climbing and/or hiking gear - including SteveM and the HISS as well as yourselves.
But the trouble for me is getting to the walks without having to take the bike and perhaps leave it, and all the riding gear, in precarious locations.
So it's occurred to me that another 'The Spanish Biker LLP' service would be to drive folks to and from the walks or climbs from a base camp. As you know Collegats is at the centre of a world renowned climbing area - and as I know, especially fro my guides at Casa Rafela, the walks, including long distance hikes, are amazing too.
As we have two vehicles there's the possibility of organising group whom we could transport both to climbs and walks, including long distance ines where we could
rendez-vouz at the finish.
We've talked about this with several people but now we have the wherewithal to actually do it maybe it's a starter - tell me what you think - all of you!
Meanwhile, back to your Pyrenean trip - by MotorHome for other readers -
here's the 'official' lowdown about on street camping, direct from the Guardia Civil, in English and with diagrams ...
Perhaps we'll meet again over the next few weeks? You have my phone number I think.
