Raise The Dust - Day 8: Homeward Bound

Once again - a drizzly rainy morning!
But we didn't care - we knew how to cope with things like that by now!
We'd just ridden across the Pyrenees on Triumph Scramblers!

So it was time to pack things away and take those last photographs...





We'd done it! We'd:

Raised The Dust.
Raised The Mud.
Raised The Snow.
Raised The Rivers.

... and without a doubt, we'd...

Raised a glass or two along the way :-)








All that's missing now is a patch to saw on my jacket!

Höllmut... Where's my patch?

Raise The Dust - Day 7: Hospederia Pintano To San Sebastián

The day started off rather sunny...



But soon turned nasty and grey!

Then the rains came and REAL adventures...
Luckily Denis had his Leatherman with him!



Finally, through all the rains and winds, we made it to the Atlantic...
YEAH!

Raise The Dust - Day 6: Villa Virginia To Hospederia Pintano

Getting the Motorädels out of the garage...



Our personal tour guides were then placed on John and mine bikes!
Thanks Denis...



Short break to take in the views...






Observatory for the vultures.









Another break after the slippy roads...



Finally we arrived at the Hospederia in Villa de Pintano.

Raise The Dust - Day 5: Casa Cornel To Villa Virginia

Early start - filling the Kasse for lunch, fuel and drinks.







Tapas again - simply wonderful.







Into a gorge...







Muddy John - he's loving it!



Luckily the hotels have their heating running...
Time to dry things out!

Raise The Dust - Day 4: Andorra to Cerler, Benasque

FROZEN ...
-2°C !



Time for a hearty breakfast!



The peace and quiet of it all at sun rise.



No time to waste - back on the Scramblers and up into the hills, direction Os de Civis...



Where shortly afterwards the road came to an end with blocking snow drifts!





So back down we go...



Then the hail and rain came!
So time for a short coffee stop.






Then back into the rain...
Coming down the other side of the hills the sun was shining - YEAH!
Time to dry out the cloths in the sun - while having another coffee stop :-)












Finally we arrived at the Hotel Casa Cornel.




This is an EXCELLENT hotel - and the food is even better...
