Vibraction road books
Has anyone ordered a Vibraction road book recently.
Given that the post isn’t always that reliable, I was wondering how long it took to arrive in UK from France and whether or not I’m likely to get charged any import taxes. 1988 110 csw 2.5Td (19J) (gone)

Hello Bill,

From memory, in November last year when I ordered mine, it arrived within about a week, from confirmation email, which was the next day. I didn’t have to pay anything on top of my invoice which covered the postage charge, hope this helps,

Andy 👍

Bill,

If you have a digital mapping app, such as Gaia, then email Vibraction, and ask them to send you the GPRX file for your Road book. It’s free if you’ve bought a book.
Mines all loaded onto Gaia, for the RB5, Pyrenees West, so I’ll just follow the route from my Ipad. Have a great trip,

Andrew 👍

Yes, I’m really looking forward to it. I did the other side of the Pyrenees from the town of Sort, to the east coast a few years ago, with the company Landtrecks. Most of us who have read subjects on the Pyrenees have probably heard of them, nice couple Wayne and Helen. Looks like it’s their last year by all accounts.

Heading off on June 22nd, with 3 defenders,

Andy

👍😁

We did it en-route to the ferry to Morocco & then west Africa. Also met a forum member ( Mo Murphy) on one of the trails.

Nothing too extreme, great views. Done the Pyrenees a few times on the big dirt bikes & might eventually buy a place in the midi pyrenees. You’ll love it Thumbs Up

I did indeed meet Jim on a nice rocky lane in the Pyrenees 👍
Always a pleasure to tour the Pyrenees, so much so, I'll go back again in September 😁

We might see each other, I'm also in the Pyrenees in September, mainly around Andorra.

A bit of a change of subject, but I thought it would be relevant. I am looking at planning a Pyrenees trip for next year. Any recommendation on which Vibraction books would be best for that 'classic' Pyreneese trip? I am thinking RB5 and RB1? Although I might get RB2 at the same time.

Just returned from Vibraction Route…
Hi, just back from following the Vibraction East and West Pyrenees routes. Very pleased with the stress free forthnight. We went on parallel piste a few times to follow less used routes, but overall very good. Looking to buy the Tunisian routes for next year.

Beware though, they are in French and tightly locked down from manipulation, plus you sign a NDA…. Respect it for what it is and enjoy the well researched trip.

This story is relevant to the Eastern end of the Pyrenees Traverse, I think the Col de Banyuls forms part of the route.
