Ooh, thread name change, I'll have to keep my eye on this.
I've booked the time off with my boss (me) he's a bit grumpy but eventually agreed

Quick bump, just to keep interest going...
This is firmly in my diary and looking forward to it. I haven't booked my camping yet, but I'll get round to it some time. If you're going, just go ahead and book up your camping. Let us know on here and we can try to all camp together (fna fna...).

Some of us ex-HISS people have lots of trails on their Garmins, so we can share those between us all. I still do paper maps and memory (which is why I get lost a lot), but I can retrace several of the trails in the area. The spanish police don't much like off-road groups to exceed five bikes, so best we split up - so if you have downloaded trails for Catalunya bring them along.
If anyone is riding all the way down from the UK, think about staying overnight at Motobreaks on the way. https://motobreaks.com/ Drop Chris a line. I live down the road from him and I'll be driving to Sort in a van, so I could take your heavier/bulkier stuff for you if you want to off-load some weight before you ride over the mountains. Or stay with Phil at Jax Shak of course.
Meanwhile here's some inspiration:

AND PHIL IN FRANCEdaveuprite wrote: ↑Sun Feb 10, 2019 2:15 pm So would late September suit you guys better? We'd might as well try to be there at the same time, for a decent piss up.
I particularly want to do a day or two up high in Espot area and perhaps a day doing the Smugglers into Andorra, plus other days around 5-ways / Rialp / Cabderra etc.
Could be...
Me
Matt Slowly
Steve (Bowber)
Phil Jones
- and possibly meeting up with DiggerBob and Steve Chunky ??
What dates were you looking at being in the Espot / Sort area?
