This was a very special trip, I did it from Tardets/Alcabehety, to Ahusquy, and via the cols Aphanize and Landerre down to Behorleguy, St Jean Pied de Port. The whole uphill section between Ahusquy Aphanize Landerre is a kind of plateau where I haven't met a person (let alone another cyclist). Total silence, and quite a few birds of prey (don't know which ones you see so much here) flying around above me now and then.

This was a very special trip, I did it from Tardets/Alcabehety, to Ahusquy, and via the cols Aphanize and Landerre down to Behorleguy, St Jean Pied de Port.
The whole uphill section between Ahusquy Aphanize Landerre is a kind of plateau where I haven't met a person (let alone another cyclist). Total silence, and quite a few birds of prey (don't know which ones you see so much here) flying around above me now and then.
Watch out in the descent to Behorleguy, it goes fast, the road surface is not always good, and out of the blue there were a couple of horses in front of me, so I had to brake hard.
But to sum up: if you are in for something else than a standard popular bike col, this is a good option!

Dit was een erg bijzondere tocht, ik deed hem vanuit Tardets/Alcabehety, naar Ahusquy, en via de cols Aphanize en Landerre naar beneden naar Behorleguy, St Jean Pied de Port.
Het hele stuk boven tussen Ahusquy Aphanize Landerre is een soort hoogvlakte waar ik geen mens (laat staan een andere fietser) ben tegengekomen. Totale stilte, en flink wat roofvogels (weet niet welke dat zijn die je hier zo veel ziet) die af en toe boven me rondvlogen.
Let op in de afdaling naar Behorleguy, het gaat hard, het wegdek is niet altijd even goed, en er stonden uit het niets een paar paarden voor me, dus vol in de remmen.
Maar samengevat: als je in bent voor iets anders dan een standaard populaire fietscol, is dit een goede optie!
