    Err, pleased for you :wink: .

    I went out for 3.5 hours on Saturday and it hammered down with rain the whole sodding/sodden way. I had a nice hot bath and a bottle of stout afterwards though, formeedarrbbbleau :)
  • What was the problem the other two days? :wink:
    I'm sorry you don't believe in miracles

    Where were you?

    I did 8 days out of 8 last year in Pyrenees-Orientales, just south of Perpignan. A lot of the roads were anything but smooth, especially when you got into the hills.
    There's no such thing as too old.

    I'm jealous beyond measure. I've been to the south yearly (mostly) as long as I can remember, but it's been a couple of years since the last. Maybe late summer...
