Betty and I just got home today from the Victorian gathering. 30084 Kilometres and 2 weeks to get home via the Murray. We travelled right to the mouth and it was great to see water flowing out. The Sprinter ticked over 200 000K's yesterday and is still giving its 9.8 litres/100k. Thanks to Bonz and others for an interesting evening. Eric.

Lets get it straight

They are not mountains

Merely foothills if that

Have a look at the Pyrenees on the web and you will understand

blue one, your point is?

Having travelled over and through the European Pyrenees, I know it is easy in a 2by. You won't go far in the Victorian Pyrenees unless you are in a high clearance 2by with extraordinary grip.

Like Eric Experience, above he could drive around the Pyrenees but he could drive over the European ones. He would be better with his high clearance tyres this trip. Good to meet you Eric and Betty.

Been fishing and shooting in those hills for years know them well.

Lived in the Swiss alps for 8 months

Big difference.

blue one, there isn't much water except at the base of the Victorian Pyernees or some valleys. Back to your original point, what was it? You didn't elaborate as to anything but a different point on the globe.

p.s. blue one, Swiss Alps ain't the European Pyrenees, I forgot to point out. They are the other side of France.The Pyrenees are between Spain and France. You could learn about them on Wikipedia.

Yep hiked from Zaragoza to Jaca about 20 years ago still reckon the Swiss Alps are more dramatic in around Verbier.

Our hills are more treacherous due to the wet cold though they are just that hills, not mountains that stack up against the Pyrenees.

Oh and the fishing is good on the NSW side also.

Muzbry, I think the optional answers may not line up with the questions.

blue one, all for a purpose. We weren't trying to ski off them. You still haven't clarified what point you were making in regard to enjoyment at an EO Gathering. I am still assuming that was your reference point.
