Any interest in a 4x4 European holiday?

I do like the idea of going to the Pyrenees :)
We would do 2 weeks for that sort of trip (possibly and extra day or two). Did you drive down through France or catch the ferry (Bilbao)?
What did you do when you got there? Have a few bases and drive out each day? Travel by day, camp, move on the next day?
We did French/Italian Alps last year with a tour company (Atlas Overland)!

Sparkes - last year in some bars I paid upto £9 for a pint!

We did dover / calais and then down to the Ardeche in one hit; took about 9 hours. You could stop at Macon which is just between Dijon and Lyon and then you could do the rest down to the Pyrenees the next day. It's a tough 2 days but worth it once you ae there.
We had 4 weeks this August and went; Ardeche, Avignon, Perpignan, Pyrenees, Languedoc, Pays Cathar, Carcassonne, Normandie and Calais. It was fantastic. We camped for the 4 weeks but must have had 7 or 8 camps over the period.
Was it Dave and Fiona from Atlas?

Fiona didn't come on that tour - it was led by Pete with Dave supporting.
I'd love to do their Pyrenees tour, but the thought of moving nearly every day puts me off. Not so much the moving, but it's difficult with young children! Maybe when the're actually old enough to help, rather than hinder :wink:
If we do a touring style holiday this year, the timetable will need to be very "relaxed" :D

Yes, that's the best way. We had an idea of places we might like to go, but the whole thing was very loose. If we wanted to stay somewhere we did. The thing is about France is that there are so many campsites you never really need book. You can always find one, and they're pretty much all nice once you get south of Dijon.
