A Fistful of €uros

2019 sees the Wild Hogs, Woody and Grizzly, embark on another marathon tour. After the cold snowy mountains of Norway in the north, they now take on the hot dusty plains in the south, touring the Iberian peninsula. They’ll come together to begin their journey in Portsmouth, sailing to Bilbao, before spending around 30 days trekking through Spain, Portugal and into the Pyrenees of Andorra and France, before returning to Bilbao and Portsmouth. It's an epic journey totalling some 4250 road miles.

Tarascon sur Ariege

At Tarascon, we're in a B&B. Luckily they speak some English and I have enough of my schoolboy French to make myself understood. It's a bit weird having to go through the living room, whilst the family are all watching tv, to go out but as the lady said, it is their home, not a hotel. I'm half expecting to sit down to brekkie with them all tomorrow!

We popped out, had a quick look round, then found a bar and something to eat. There's a castle tower ovetlooking the town and the river. I walked up, whilst Sanch went back to the room.

River Arierge & Castle Tower

Tomorrow we head further west through the Pyrenees but the plan is to start with a local prehistoric park, where I believe there are some cave paintings. Likelihood is it will rain. I wonder who will put on waterproofs?
