On my way to bed so brief as always. Photos photos photos please. Sadly
I don't think there is a cat in hells chance of me getting to Millau
before you or ever at all. It's not an area of France I know at all. In
truth I know little of France having mainly travelled through it by train
on my way elsewhere rather than stopping for any length of time with most
of what time I have spent there having been spent in Paris. My only time
around Argeles was a day's touring by car a few years ago when I spent a
couple of weeks in NW Spain including a week in the Spanish Pyrenees. So
enjoy your trip whenever. For myself even a trip to the West End is
probably beyond me at the moment although why I should want to go there is
another matter entirely. :-)

Talking as we are of sheep reminds me I was heading for bed so until the
next time,

Cheers,

Or, if thinking in terms of sheep, Wales would be the 'main' country,
eh Mike? (And how apt that sheep should come up in Joan's thread! She
likes them so) If thinking of being preferred by the French,
Scotland. Which brings me to something else. I caught the end of the
Ray Mears thing last week (or the week before) when he 'did' the
Ardeche. I thought I should go there - I haven't gone wilderness
hiking since leaving Devon and the Ardeche is wilder than anything we
have, right? It's about 250 miles from Argeles, so it would make
sense to stay there and get the train to the Ardeche.
Now - besides the really sore point that I'm not riding now and would
*really* like to ride over that Millau Viaduct - just to *see* it
would be something. I mean, I understand why you want to. And I'd
want to walk over it - presumably one can. Whenever I look at the
pictures I almost feel vertiginous! It's just *so* tall!

So, I thought it was kind of Massif Central way, and I've been
meaning to look at the map. And I just did. Unbelievably it's about
half way between Argeles and the Ardeche!

If you don't beat me to it, I'll show you the photos. Spring/Summer.
Spring might be cutting it a bit fine.
