Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and Alps Trip

[nick crisp]

First half of the Route des Grandes Alpes today, from Menton to Briancon:








Sospel:











Then broke through into hot sunshine:











Top of the Col de Bonette closed still:





But only missed out on a couple hundred feet or so:





Back down the other side:









Thunderstorm quickly closes in:





So hid in a tunnel until it passed  :o





Top of the Col de Vars, and another thunderstorm in my way:





Just skipped it though
