For the Pyrenees is it best to base ourselves in France or Spain. I know the economic climate can change and it is all down to personal preference but fuel (biggest expense) and campsite fees which is the cheapest??
We have a soft spot for France and the food but also like to have new experiences.

I'm currently reading Toby Ballentines book as well at the moment, had to pay far more than two and half quid for it though!!, Good old amazon! Ha ha!.
Iv'e got myself booked on the Plymouth/Roscoff ferry for a fortnight trip in early july, plan on spending about 3 days riding down the west side of france then spending week in the pyrennes before meeting up with some friends for last few days in Perpignan. Iv'e been scanning for apartments for the week in the pyrennes recently and found some good links via The Spanish Biker's blog, Cheers!. Any tips/links on legal requirements whilst riding in France or Spain would be appreciated, i.e hi-viz, lightbulbs etc, just read thread on reflective stickers on helmets with deep joy!!
Thanks in advance.
Keith.
