Ok so you should all know wht the Pamplona Bull Run is by now but if you dont then here a couple of links.

I have done it before but it was with a backpacker company and i was drooling as we rolled throuhg the Pyrenees in a crowded tourist bus and thought one day i'll be doing this on a bike. Well.....the time has come.

I have posted on a couple of other places looking for ppl to join sothought i might as well do it here too but i think most of you will have plans for something else already.

The basic plan is:
DAY1: 2nd July leave UK early and hopefully make it to Le Mans.
DAY2: 3rd keep heading south and hopefully make it to to edge of the Pyrenees.
DAY3: 4th July pick a random town in the Pyrenees to head for lunch. Afternoon head for a campsite and hope theres tent space. I have one in mind where i stayed before in a place called Mendigorria which is south of Pamplona. If theres no space i will keep details of some others we can head to.
DAY4: 5th July head for te beach and get some supplies for the opening day and Bull Run.
DAY6: 6th July Midday is festival start time where we party like Lionel Ritchie (All night long) and head for the Bull Run at 7am.
DAY7: 7th July Do the Run and hopefully survive. Chill for the rest of the day.
DAY8: 8th July Im heading for Barcelona for a few days before turning north where i will stop in Sth of France and Sth of Germany to visit friends on the way back.

Anyone interested?

I don't mind the bull run so much as at least the bulls have the chance for a bit of revenge.
It's what happens after and bull fighting in general that I object to, sorry mate. Good luck and all that as it's your choice but I won't be partaking.

Rare with chips,peas,onion rings and mustard (English of course), Pete??
TOO MUCH IS NEVER ENOUGH

Looks like they have some sort of bung on the end of the horns???

Should make it bigger payback for the bulls and remove them, :twisted:
