OUTS OVERLAND

Tour · 5–10 Sep 2026

Pyrenees, Andorra, Spain

The Defender D110 and Shadow side by side on a high pasture, clouds above the peaks

A long drive down … but it was worth it: stunning mountain ranges, the best weather, plenty of miles! The Pyrenees are something else.

But even the way there, with a stopover on Lake Geneva, was worth the trip on its own. What a beautifully located campsite, right on the water!
