Nine different ski stations from "Ibiza on Snow" in Pas de la Casa to "Farmer's Shed" in Boí Taüll.

Took the car and drove over 3000 miles from Bilbao to Boulogne, including several dirt tracks and a number of mountain roads masquerading as ice rinks. 4x4 was essential.

Travelled through three countries; Spain, France and Andorra, but managed thirteen border crossings .

Innumerable jumps on the snowboard, including one 20 metres long in Spain, and later in France, one which broke Adrian's wrist.

Covered about 400km of piste (including a big chunk of off-piste)

Stayed in 25 hotels/apartments/farms and one night in an unbelievably cold tent.

Did an 18 mile hike over 3 Pyreneean peaks, followed by a hitch-hike back with a drunk driver.

We managed to drink about 16 gallons of gassy San Miguel, but made up for it by luckily passing through the Beaujolais and Burgundy wine regions (pure chance of course)

By way of intellectual stimulation, we attained the heady heights of Chapter 14 in "Living Spanish", onto such thorny ground as the conditional indicative tense and radical changing verbs.

Grew one beard (me not Katie). Well, it's mandatory for Board Bums isn't it.
