Re: N.I ABR's in the Pyrenees
So we rode into Andorra, filled up with fuel, bought some bread, ham, cheese, etc then found this place for a spot of lunch beside a river
The carpark was up above us, with quite a few steps to get to the river, but some of the guys decided it would be quicker to use the lift.
Big mistake as the Andorra 4 got stuck between floors in 30+ temperatures with glass all round and no ventilation The Andorra 4 protest salute So getting out of Andorra was a bit of a nightmare, as the main border crossing back into Spain was chaotic, 3 or 4 lanes with nose to tail traffic.
After a wee bit of filtering, we got waved through by Customs, then the main road back to the campsite

Day 5
More tarmac today, was we rode over the Port De La Bonalgua (I think?) stopping at the view point. Then we continued on along some more absolutely fantastic stretches of the black stuff like this. You can see the hairpins then the road disappears off the right hand side of the picture. The road going through the valley is a continuation of the same road

Re: N.I ABR's in the Pyrenees
We continued to explore these great roads, stopping for more photos.
I cant recall the name of the village, but I'm sure someone will remind me ?
Eventually the the need to go 'Off Road' happened........Again

Re: N.I ABR's in the Pyrenees
This was more of a gravel track in comparrison to some of the other trails we had already done.
This was through the Parc Natural de L'Alt Pirineu - Refugi del Fornet - I think? Stopping by the wayside for the regulation coffee brew up Eventually ending up here were we had a great lunch
