routes to gibraltar from paris
i am off on a charity ride with tent, and am looking for the best routes to get from a to b, can be a little deviated but am planning to go through andorra, leaveing in april and hoping for half decent weather, am very green at this cycleing stuff oh eck help....
when cycling through france pick up the river vienne trail (from Paris aim just south of Tours). I did this when i did my top to bottom, its so easy to cycle along, tarmac the majority of the way and flat as a pancake. Add into that the stunning views, lovely towns and ample campsites and you should be well away.
real men don't need engines

Re: routes to gibraltar from paris
Hi my daughter lives near Benidorm, this year will be the third time I cross the Pyrenees, I go over at Viella, Val Aran,
I start from Farnborough Hants, Dover - Calais - Abbeville - Aumale - Gisor - Mantes - Chartres - Blois - Chatillon -
Le Blanc - Bellac - Chalus - Le Bugue - Monflanquin - Villeneuve sur Lot - Agen - Auch - Montrejeau - St.Beat - Viella -
Salardu - Port de la Bonaigua - Sort - Tremp - Balaguer - Lleida - Maials - Flix - Gandesa - Tortosa - Ulldecona - Vinaros -
Castellon - Sagento - Valencia - Cullera - Gandia - Gata - Altea - Benidorm - Alicante. now i've gone no further, but there
are lots of places to get lost in, Valencia is top of the list, Lleida is a close second, Spanish town are a bit complicated,
compass helps. I rough it, tent, bus shelters, any shelter, under ground car parks, you name it.
You sound a strong lad, a little like me, take it as it comes, Don't go over the Pyrenees late April early May, I did once,
nearly frooze to death, coming down off the top, going up is easy, its the coming down, don't forget the gloves and over shoes.
Well have a good trip, Fred.
