|
|
It should be ok to leave luggage on the bike during the crossing shouldn't it? Apparently there is no general access to the vehicle hold during the crossing. I'm planning on having one small bag packed with what I might want on the boat, and just detach that one and take with me. I was also thinking of locking my helmet and jacket to the bike. ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

In theory, yes, it'll be fine.
Locked lid and locked boxes, no problem.
I wouldn't leave my passport and wallet in a tank bag though! |
It'll be soft luggage.
No, I'll keep documents, camera and gadgets etc with me. Obviously I'll have my wallet with me. If I'm not chronically sea sick, I might want to eat! ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

Just don't forget to take a change of clothes and toiletries to the cabin. The Santander ferry is decent, but it's a long time. You'll know it when you hit the Bay of Biscay ____________________ 2009 Yamaha YBR125 -> 2000 SV650S -> 2005 Kawasaki ZX6R 636 |

I've done the overnight crossing home from Santandera few times and had a blast.
Straight to the Bar, pound the brews for a few hours, spot of dinner, few more beers, then pass out in the cabin for the remainder of the journey ____________________ Current bike - 2018 H2-SX, 2004 SV1000s, 2016 Aprilia RSV4 RF, 2017 Sherco SERF 300, 2003 Suzuki DRZ400 (stolen - AY53 JUU) |

Sorry to hijack the thread briefly. What sort of money are we talking for a ferry crossing to Spain?

About £250 for one way
That includes a cabin, which you have to have now I think.
If I'd booked it for a week later (i.e. in June), I think it was about £50 more. ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

I had the top, smaller Kriega packed as an overnight bag; the big one and the tank bag stayed on the bike, and I did take lid and jacket to the cabin.
Starting to look like half of BCF is over here at the same time! ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

Time of year seems to make a big difference Itchy. I looked at going in the first week of June, and it was something like £50-£60 dearer. Moved my sailing date back to 30th May, and instantly, that price drop. £500 though?! Do they know something about you? ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017
