Im back! - Lots of photos!
« on: July 07, 2006, 09:27:14 pm »
Well after a great trip - i have returned! Had a scortching heat of 35 deg each day and nicely balanced with a swimming pool at perfect temperature each day.

We set off at 11:30 into the night and arrived at Dover around 1:45am and then caught our ferry to arrive in Dunkerque at around 4ish.

Even though i knew we were staying at this nice house for a few nights, little did i know that the guy who owned the house is a Test Pilot for Airbus and is the Project Leader for the cockpit of the A380! So we had a good chat about the A380 and much more that i cant release lol (sorry) - also he is flying the A380 at the Farnborough airshow in a week or two.

However back onto the pics, here is the first pic of an early day in france!



In a little village that is called "Soligniac"


Tom Hunter engaged in a conversation with a Deaf and senile woman as we are trying to get some directions, but she is more content in telling us her life story.


Heading up into the mountains to Gavarnie


In Gavanie looking at a beautiful face


The cows and a nice sky with the mountains in the distance!


Climbing away from the carpark upto the bresch roland


Interesting folds in Monte Perdido


Climbing up higher from a refuge upto the Bresch


There it is!!!


Our First campsite - amazing view!


Nice team photo of us before descending into the mighty Ordessa Canyon (im on the far left)


There it is again, in the baking heat!


A very rare flower called Adal Wies


Stunning!


Us again - me in the black top with the hat (second from left)


And the welcoming pool at the finish :P
