Picos tour 2022

Mark H said:

Friday, sunny, extended my stay another 7 nights as having such a good time here and don't miss the UK at all
Today a ride down to the Riana area again to visit 2 locations, Collado de Llesba, Cain De Valdeon

The road to Cain de Valdeon was spectacular and demanding, very tight in places especially if you meet a motorhome coming the other way, worth the trip though
130 miles
Back to Hotel del Oso for a very nice chunk of Turbot

I see you have extended your stay. I'm just back from some days in the Picos & Pyrenees. I spent a night in Cangas de Onis then 2 nights in the Parador at Cervera de Pisuerga bfore heading to the ferry yesterday. It was a tad damp going up to Santander and home from Plymouth.

Anyway, if you have not done it before, I can recommend the P210 that goes from near Riano over to Cervera. Great road over some passes and through gorges that have been dammed. The reservoirs are pretty empty so you can see the depth of the gorges.

Nice little 4 hour loop https://goo.gl/maps/kWwEeSowCGz8PSZ8A

Yes Mark,

Good to meet you to.

We got back ok albeit getting through customs at around 17;50 ish after the delay to the ferry in the pissing down rain. Had a word with the guy who was directing the traffic from the boat to the border control as to why they let the cars, vans and motorhomes through first when it is torrential rain and guy's on the bikes are getting soaked whilst sitting in the que with no shelter? (Gripe over)

Hope to see you around soon.

Steve
