Well, I have the British contingent visiting and we decided to show them a sample of the many tracks that we have close by.... the thing is that I had to work yesterday and they must leave today. So the only timeframe available to us was to do it during the night....

We had a fantastic night... I leave for the other to comment. Just to say that we were in bed by 5:00 AM!

Some pictures of the crossing of the mountain passes of Morcuera and Navafría...

Eventually we had to turn around.... our other G's tyres did not offer any grip and there was ice beneath a layer of snow...

Until we found another track with less snow but a lot of fun....
