Brilliant Col. thanks.
That’s given me a great idea.
Lunch in San Sebastián. Then go to our place via Pau and visit the old race circuit in Pau en route. This looks like better roads = quicker access to the vino.
Next day, take your road and go for a tootle.
Will look again at your photos for those dates.Brilliant reference and advice.
Thanks.

Pull the udder one …! I tried the horns … It was friesian up on top …!
Ok stop now, you are milking it 
So my original plan was to add the gpx/kml files to the relevant posts I made earlier, hopefully they might be of assistance to anyone planning a similar trip next year.
But @Octoberon is going to be along soon to remind me there’s a time limit on how long you have to edit your posts. 
So plan B…
Here they are (small file sizes in comparison to photos).

#19Vitre to Roscoff 170m 4h.gpx (300.0 KB)
And a few Google Earth files…

Swiss passes loop 155m 4.5h.kml (204.7 KB)
Dolomite passes loop A 90m 3h.kml (157.0 KB)
Dolomite passes loop B 80m 3h.kml (131.3 KB)
And if Saul / @Octoberon is still loitering, not important to the above files but…
As often happens members post their local day trip gem, if they want to add a route file (which would be great) they might not want to advertise it to too many folks.
May be route downloads should be a “members only privilege”?
And of course ensure your home is not included in any posted routes!

You rang? By default it’s 30 days if you’re Member level or above but it’s configurable up to no limit.
It’s not possible to stop people downloading from the links if they can see the post. The only way to restrict it would be to have a separate Routes sub-category for the files that’s only available to certain levels of user. The poster would have to create a sister topic to the main one (e.g. Pyrenees, Alps, Dolomites, N Italian Lakes Routes), upload the files there and reference it in the main topic.
