I thought you were going down in a group Mark !
If you're going down on your own, I'm off down there in late May for a few days to swap bikes over - could tag along with you
I have to be back before 4th June though, as the MOT runs out on me Mk2 I've got down there
Got a free billet down there, within sight of the Pyrenees as well
Let me know ........will be away until Sunday night though .....emergency rugby jolly in Limerick this weekend

Nice talking to you again mark - much more relaxed than that last time when I was in Casualty & under the morphine 
Here is a link to that hotel in the Picos we stayed at on our CMC 'Wrong ay Round' Tour http://www.fade.es/torretours/home.htm
Smashing place, but I see the prices have gone up a bit (more likely down to the crap exchange rate)
Take a look at the photo links Gaz & Mitch (Avonne) posted up on this CMC thread about the Picos & Pyrenees tour to get a flavour of things down there
http://dashack.co.uk...pic,4895.0.html
And here's a link to the Tautavel website .......you can almost see our house from there
http://www.tautavel.com/
I'll get a few pics up over the next week or so.
BTW ......sorry Tedeum, I only just saw your post, otherwise I'd have given you a ring
Mind you, speaking as an impartial observer (Tigers fan - sob!) Geraghty won that match for you, not your front row !

I had a pint waiting for you in Quiltys! It was the worst match I have ever seen but I liked the result. That's the measure of a good team - they can grind out a result when they need it. Looking at the draw a Munster-Leinster final is still possible.
