Northern Exile Oct 2022 9:41pm, 14 Oct 2022 9,189 posts	0 Northern Exile Let me recommend the area around Bagneres de Luchon. Bloody brilliant.

Hanneke Oct 2022 7:11am, 15 Oct 2022 93,984 posts	0 Hanneke This decision has to do with the fact that I am going in November... I have always wanted to cycle in Sicily (and walk) and November is actually perfect! Low season so cheap.and quiet but perfect cycling temperatures.

Hanneke Oct 2022 7:15am, 15 Oct 2022 93,987 posts	0 Hanneke Pyrenees in November = snow on mountain passes. I shall revisit the idea another time though I have even remembered that my old trainer now has a house in the Pyrenees somewhere and organises cycling training camps...
HellsBells Oct 2022 7:21am, 15 Oct 2022 29,669 posts	0 HellsBells Hanneke - we were in Sicily the first week of May, it was lovely - not too busy, not too hot and the sea was just right for swimming
Dave A Oct 2022 7:34am, 15 Oct 2022 23,608 posts	0 Dave A Thunderstorm over Low Wray at the moment, but I’m not changing my mind! 😀 Funnily enough there was one around Ambleside Youth Hostel too.
Hanneke Oct 2022 7:44am, 15 Oct 2022 93,999 posts	0 Hanneke Thanks Hellsbells! I think I shall book it when I get back from my conference. Syracuse. Excellent for culture, cycling and sea it seems.
