cheers Spud ;)
Don't worry Spud, after all, life is the interesting bit between plans and reality - you can quote me on this that, I just thought it up!

It looks like your's is following the Nº 10 bus rule, nothing for hours and then three come along - so stop hanging around bus stops matey! (thumbs)

Yes had all weekend helping with one issue (the one we spoke about) and then find out about the nipper who was on a 21st birthday Glamping weekend which was her birthday present from her boyfriends family :whistle:

and it just reaffirms in my mind do what you want to do and stop putting it off

TAT next year mate ?

cheers Spud ;)
Life... it's not a dress rehearsal

Nice place Ainsa, hope you have visited the old town on the hill.
We are 130km from Ainsa through the tunnel Bielsa into France. Let me know if you are passing, or see you Friday in Torla Camping.

This would be a good route Al, plenty of great scenery and great roads including the Gorge on the HU-361.

That's a nice route Will, avoiding the N-260 between Fiscal and Ainsa is a good idea at this time of year - especially on a Sunday - it's so narrow and full of camper vans and, er, idiots on motorbikes ... (thumbs)
