We stay at the best campsite in the Pyrenees and cycle up the Col du Tourmalet 🇫🇷

Hi Amanda and Mark! New subscribers here from Australia 🇦🇺 we really enjoyed this adventure, what an absolutely idyllic landscape. Really loved seeing the countryside, villages and the mountains. Stunning. 🙏🏻😊

[@AdventureswithAmandaandMark]

Oh wow guys, thanks for subscribing we really appreciate that. The Pyrenees is such a beautiful place, have you ever ventured to this part of the world? Have you seen our Cirque de Gavarnie video - the mountains there were amazing 🤩

[@garyauld6421]

Great trip guys.......keep up the good work.

[@AdventureswithAmandaandMark]

Thank you so much - we will try 😊 and thank you for watching and commenting 😊

[@TheBabblingBrookes]

Great cycle ride in stunning scenery 😍 the downhill made the uphill all worth it. Mark you are just so fit 💪 44 minutes to get up there, I thought you done really good at 2 hours. Can’t believe Mark got up and went out for another ride the day after…do you ever stop? Stunning again 😍 xx

[@AdventureswithAmandaandMark]

It was a much better than cycle that I had anticipated! Mark did so well cycling all those Cols one after the other but he is a bit addicted to cycling. It’s so much easier to get out and do things when your holiday isn’t it 😊 Thanks for watching, we really do appreciate it and thank you for your lovely comments 😍 x

[@TheBabblingBrookes]

@@AdventureswithAmandaandMark it’s great to watch you, loving your editing and videography, and it’s a pleasure to watch your adventures 😍 xx

@@TheBabblingBrookes Thank you xx

That one is on the bucket list! How much fun was the downhill! Amazing how quick you get down. Great one guys!!

[@AdventureswithAmandaandMark]

Fabulous! Do you think you’ll be heading there this year and will you both be doing it? It was so much fun but I am a bit slower than Mark (I came off into some railings when we were cycling near Girona a few years ago and cracked my ribs so I am a bit more cautious - well I’m probably more cautious anyway 😂). Can highly recommend that campsite at Luz Saint Sauveur for lots of cycling routes and hiking. Thanks for watching guys 😍

[@rollingwithchunky3472]

@@AdventureswithAmandaandMark probably not back into Europe this year, we did the Etape du tour a few years back which was huge! But haven’t really been on the road bikes for awhile now so trying to build some motivation! your vids are helping 🤩

[@AdventureswithAmandaandMark]

@@rollingwithchunky3472 Oh wow did you, that’s fab. Which route did you do? Mark has cycled some of the Cols in the Alps and wants to take me there sometime. I’ve struggled to be honest with my bike fitness over the last few years, hence the need for the E-bike. That’s very kind of you to say so - do you both swim and run as well?

[@rollingwithchunky3472]

@@AdventureswithAmandaandMark yeah our bike fitness is where it was then! We did I 2017 stage 18 which had the Col d’izoard. Yeah try to swim and run when we can just love being active! Pretty like you guys, from what we seen 🚴🏻🏃🏻

[@Joalexlees]

Really enjoying your videos - think this is my husband's dream holiday as he is a keen cyclist. He may have to buy me a e-bike if he want me to follow him up the big hills!

[@AdventureswithAmandaandMark]

Awhh thank you so much 😊 It was definitely Mark’s dream holiday and would have been fab if it could have been for a lot longer! We had to buy me an E-Bike exactly for this reason 😂 I have a normal road bike but there is no way I would have been able to keep up with so we got an Orbea Gain D50 bike and although its quite heavy it did the job. You should definitely go here though it was beautiful 😍 Thank you for watching and for commenting 😊

[@BigDymz]

You should get a small Remote Controlled drone which you can set to follow you and record!

[@AdventureswithAmandaandMark]

We keep looking as this is exactly what we want to do and we had tried to get the DJI Mini 3 before we went away. You can’t fly them in the national parks though but on the cycles it would be great!

[@WayneZ-tf6gf]

Hi Amanda and Mark, loved watching this video, helping us plan our trip. Just wanting to know what your pitch number or site number was at Camping Pyrenevasion? Thanks Wayne

[@AdventureswithAmandaandMark]

Hi Wayne, thank you so much 😊 We had such an amazing trip and loved that campsite!! We think it was pitch 40 and we've tried looking for a site map but can't find one 😔 When we arrived I asked for a site with a view and we got directed to that one or there was one opposite and it was just amazing 🤩 We could have stayed there for weeks and will definitely be returning! Where else are you planning to go on your trip? Thanks for watching - Amanda & Mark 😍

[@WayneZ-tf6gf]

@@AdventureswithAmandaandMark thank you that’s great, I’ll enquire and make a booking. We are doing a 12 day campervan trip around Spain, encompassing Bilbao, San Sebastián, Pyrenees, start and finish Barcelona. Any other tips from those areas from also be appreciated.

[@AdventureswithAmandaandMark]

Sounds amazing 🤩 If you're going to be up near San Sebastián then you nearish to the Picos de Europa which has some great walks and some lovely villages to stay in but the Pyrenees will probably keep you very busy - go to the Ordesa Valley if you can (we did a video on that one too 😊) Have a fabulous time 😍

[@WayneZ-tf6gf]

@@AdventureswithAmandaandMark appreciate the feedback and tips. Looking forward to an adventure packed holiday. Travel safe. Cheers Wayne

[@kroozer5215]

Hi guys, just discovered your channel, what month was it when you stayed at that campsite ?

[@AdventureswithAmandaandMark]

@@kroozer5215 Hi, thank you so much for finding us! We stayed here around the end of May and the weather was perfect and this is still out of season so we were able to use our ACSI card and get it for a really good price. Are you heading that way? Thank you for watching - Amanda & Mark 😍

[@kroozer5215]

@AdventureswithAmandaandMark yes but not sure where and when yet

[@aBigCountry]

Great video guys, really helpful as I’m going to the area in September to do as many TdF climbs as I can. Going in my Campervan so hopefully I’ll book this campsite as it looks a good location for a few rides, and if I can get that pitch I’ll be well happy! Did the Tourmalet last year in just under 2 hours too, but looking at doing loads more this time as I’m on my own and not restricted at all! Looking at doing a few nights here and also a few over at Bagneres de Luchon. You didn’t stay there did you? Thanks, Phil

[@AdventureswithAmandaandMark]

Hi Phil 👋🏻 It was a fab campsite and we loved that pitch - it's still our favourite and we talk about it all the time!! It's a great base for lots of routes and Mark says you must do the Col de Ardiden!! No we didn't head that way as we were going over to Girona in Spain - have you been? Amazing cycling from there! Thank you so much for watching and we hope you have an amazing time 😍

[@aBigCountry]

Fab, thanks! No, not been to Girona but may look into that now!! Yes, Luz Ardiden is on my definite to do list, together with loads more! Thanks again guys, subscribed as we’re into walking, cycling, campervanning, caravanning and cruising so very interesting channel!!

[@AdventureswithAmandaandMark]

@@aBigCountry Sorry just seen this as we've been on a cruise 🚢 😂 Thank you so much for subscribing, we appreciate that 😍
