Noted.
I still have to get over to the Continent to try some of those passes. There was a possibility of next year, but

wants to do lots of things in the garden, so next year will be the odd day trip out, but no overnights anywhere...

Hire a gardener, then get the ferry to Santander. From there you can either: turn right and explore the Picos, or; turn left and go to the Pyrennes.
You can then use the line to

of "We won't have to drive too far, the mountains are close to where you get off the ferry"
But be warned and don't make the mistake I made with the lovely Lady Budster

Picture the scene!
Middle of the night, ferry somewhere off the Brittany coast, rather rough. The LLB had got up to use the bathroom and was bouncing off the walls of the cabin, as the ship rolled.
Me "It's alright darling, just lie down on your bunk and you won't feel the movement of the ship, as much"
LLB
"But what if it sinks? Have you seen how rough the sea is"Me "Don't worry" I said, still half asleep.
"This ferry is over 40,000 tonnes. That's as big as the Titanic"
With hindsight, not the best thing to say!!
