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?
