Day 3 - Orthez to Somport

Another day started with waterproofs on! 

We had to decide whether to take the Pass or the tunnel at Somport.

The rain turned to drizzle as we headed further south. A short distance before the left turn up to the pass we stopped at some lights for roadworks. We decided to go for it. 

It was clearing up and looked brighter. The twists and turn were exciting enough on a bike. The road surface shaming English roads!

As we neared the top we entered the cloud! 

We stil took a few photos. The pass is on one of the pilgrimage routes to Santiago. There were a good few dozen walkers milling about.
