An amazing trip, we got from the med to the Atlantic via off road tracks and trails across the Pyrenees Mountain Range
Quick paddle in the Med beofre we leave it behind.

How much does it cost to do a trip like this - looks like fantastic fun and I'd be up for doing it.
Was any of the terrain particularly challenging? Looks pretty straightforward trails in good condition for the most part MY15 DIY Black Pack (Better than factory and half the price!)
Prospeed rock/tree sliders w/steps
HSE Winter wheels
TransK9 B24
Travall Cargo Guard

Looks awesome, what sort of figures did make this trip?
How many miles did you clock up, how much fuel consumed, how long did it take & did anything break?

Some stats for you guys that are interested in costing a trip like this:
Days away from home: 10
Mileage Clocked up: 2300
Fuel Cost: £628
Eurotunnel Crossing: £75
Tolls in France: £61
Tolls in Spain: £6.50
Ferry Crossing: £420
Campsite Fees: £123
=================
TOTAL COST £1313
=================
Plus Beer & Food
We had no breakdowns while we were away, but both my G4 & Steve's Defner had a considerable amount of time, money and effort invested in them before leaving to cover most eventualities.
I haven't yet unpacked the spares and tools, properly as I'm aiming to do a list of what went with us, to make it easier for next time. Will put it on here if anybody is interested......none of it was used on this trip though
So as we split everything between the 2 of in my car, it's about £650 pp for a 10 day holiday, not that bad really considering what we saw and did
Hopefully I will manage to edit together the video footage over next few days
