Day 3
So, after leaving our HQ, and riding some tarmac, we went 'Off Road' entering a gravel trail, that got progressively worse the further we got.
Where this photo was taken, we had all stopped to let a fleet of Dutch registered 4x4s passed who were coning in the opposite direction.

So after quite fews miles, we arrived here at a place we christened 'Heartbreak Hill' as one or two of us encountered, shall we say a few moments
Ask no questions, I'll tell no lies!

This was a long but highly enjoyable day. Total mileage for the day was 54 miles but it took us 6 hours to get back to our base.
Somewhere along this trail, we stopped for a rural coffee brew up

when we got to the plateau, we meet some Isrealies, who were travelling in some 4x4s from Andorra into Spain. Turns out they were a dance troupe and took up the invite to join them for some stretches etc
