    second set...

    the very fine campsite and pitch. Literally right on a cliff top and not even a stone's throw from the sea

    4th set

    Between Collioure and Spain. We took loads of photo's here coz its VERY spectacular including a short video of the very twisty road along the coast. Sadly the wrong buttons on the camera seem to have been pressed and they either didn't come out or the quality was very poor.

    last set - a pass across the northern end of the Pyrenees. Autumn has started here and is in sharp contrast to the hot and dusty mediteranean sunshine. Altitude was about 1,000metres though. The road on the Spanish side was very twisty

    Re: belated photo's from France Sept 2009

    Someone was asking about an adaptation I was making to allow the big roll bag to balance on the rear carrier better. Photo 5 in post 2 just about shows it. It is simply 2 lengths of 20mm dia aluminium tubing attached to a Touratech rear carrier by jubilee clips. The TT carrier is actually one for a transalp 700 but bolts straight on to the standard (and useless) rack. Note smaller bolts are needed. I have taken it off now but if anyone wants more detail I will attach and photo it.
