Ireland to Faro trip
« on: August 11, 2011, 06:57:54 AM »
Took off on the Springer on a 5 week trip to France, Spain and Portugal, lucky to have escaped from what was the coldest July in 40 years back in Ireland, no such worries on the trip, heavy rain on 3 days, light rain on another few, highlights of the trip included the Pyrenees, Picos, Huesca, Faro & Chaves rallies and the trip up the west of Portugal and Spain to Finisterre
