Col d’Aubisque
Heading out from Laruns onto the Col
d’Ausbisque under a thick blanket of low cloud.
You could be thinking it’s just going to be one
of those days. Visibility drops to below 30 meters
then 20 as you continue to climb up into the
thickest cloud you will ever see.
Some days this could be all you’ll ever see, but
not today. Slowly out of the enveloping blanket
of thick cloud, rounding another hairpin and
out into the brilliant sunshine.
What was an im-possibility day, turns into one of
the very best days ever.
Welcome to the Aubisque.
