This is a nice read. And you sure live in an inspirational region. I've been lucky enough to have been there a few times in my life. I have been cycling with our club from Bordeaux via Rocamadour to Tourmalet (to see the Tour) only 2 years ago. And I have pictures of my 8yo self and my grandfather on the train to Lac d'Artouste. I can still imagine the vaste green valley on our left side going uphill. And it has been like a half century ago...

Welcome to the forum. Living close to a mountain range like that must give you a lot of photographic possibilities.

Also a welcome (I am from the Netherlands).
I have good memories during a holiday in Spain / Atlantics Pyrenees.

Welcome to LMF !!! My journey also started with Pentax P30n in the mid nineties, somewhere mid journey on m43 and Lumix S5ii now

I own all three P30 variants (original, N, T) and recommend them as the best option for starting with a manual film SLR. They're surprisingly nice to use and very cheap.
