Oy you lot of you want to discuss prison camps, speed limits & Macron bog off and do it on your own thread not my travel thread.

Something wrong with that elephant it's got 5 legs.

Had a bit of a problem with the van today may be an ABS ECU problem.
Rather than clutter this thread I've put a new thread up.

Fiat X290 ABS/Comformatic problems

In Spain at the moment and the van through a bit of a wobbly today. A bit of background first, a few ago months at 14000 miles ago I swapped the spare onto RHS front, the other side had about 4mm tread depth. On a few a occasions I have had the LHS front wheel tramping and the traction control...

A bin lorry will go down that road so a motorhome will manage , even a skinny one like Lenny’s. ?

Difference is if Lenny hits anything oops severe damage to his vehicle,,if dustbin lorry hits anything so what.??BUSBY.

 

[Lenny HB]

Last night a nice quite parking area in the Picos.

All on our own

Plenty of space

Nice views

Then another couple of vans arrive, no points for guessing the nationality.

Anyway got the pressure cooker out and made a goulash from some very nice beef from a local shop.

Today we walked the Ruta del Cares from Poncebos to Cain 16 miles of mountain tracks, totally knackered now.

The Boss's rear end.

My classic holiday pose.

 

[Lenny HB]

The footpath origin was down to worker access to build the canal for the small Hydro station at Poncebos.

At Cain a well earned beer a bargin ½ Lt beer & large coffee €4.20
Only another 8 miles back now.

 

[Lenny HB]

Came a few miles back down to Las Arenas as no phone signals at all where we were last night.

Nice carpark

 

[Manic]

Looks like the Gorilla doesn’t like funsters taking his picture

 

[Lenny HB]

Tonight's stop a Camper Stop 5000 ft up in the mountains north of Leon at the ski resort of Branillan.

What a great hike. Well done to both of you.

 

[Lenny HB]

A little detour on the way today to visit San Miguel de Lillo.

And Santa Maria del Naranco

 

[gwyntaxi]

And then I got dragged up another flipping great hill to the Chateau. Built in the 12th century and has been owned privately since the 1960's and the last 50 years it has been restored to it's original condition.
Richard the 1st conquered it and lived here, I'm not going to go into the history as most Funsters if the dementia hasn't set in, they are bright enough to look it up themselves.

Brilliant pics

 

[Lenny HB]

Got here at last, we are in Portugal.
Near Chaves, beautiful spot by the river, behind a restaurant. Restaurant closed this week re-opens tomorrow, sign on door saying campers welcome to stop.
Trying to get the boss to stay another night as the restaurant has excellent reviews.

All on our own, perfect & very hot
