If you're planning on heading to theses parts it looks like some of the passes will be closed for months after the flooding.We spent a few days up that way last year its a beautiful place but not looking so good now http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2056975468

I am planning to visit this area late September. Anyone know what the situation is now?

Are the roads generally ok for driving?

Tourmalet is open again and roads are fine. They are having a heatwave at the moment, 40 degrees a couple of days ago.

Thanks Darkvalley.

I now plan to use a smallish car for transport and base myself in Cauterets.

Any thoughts on this?
