NO PLANS

[scottjames1uk]

No plans are best!!!! I leave Yorkshire on the 12th June down to bath to a bike rally then sail to Bilbao Sunday night. Then I am heading south west over hills then down west coast, south coast to Barcelona then north back up through France to get ferry about 8th July. I have no definite plans but that’s the route I fancy but I guess I will change it. I am not planning on riding every day either and going solo.

I've just booked three weeks off in July (5th - 27th) and am doing pretty much the same thing except I'm going down through France to get to Spain.

Just going to spend three weeks riding along the coast, relaxing on beaches and enjoying the food and drink. I've bought a TomTom rider but mainly just to make finding hotels/campsites/petrol stations easier.

How much was your ferry straight to Spain? Seemed pretty pricey when I looked (about £500 return).


Would be cool to meet up for a beer in France/Spain!

Bilbao is always more expensive, Santander is 50km away and 130 one way, I thought this ferry as it saves me 1000 miles going through France and Nothern France is boring , since you are going to be going down and me going upwards How about a meet in Adorra or maybe Barca with Svedebo who lives there?.

Ferry was about £190 thats to sail to Bilbao and then sail back from Calais. Are you riding solo? I haven't done this before, I have backpacked malaysia and a bit of canada but never done the bike thing.

I booked a ticket on the Plymouth to Santander on the 6th July last night. I got a reclining seat and the total came to £155. Maybe theyve sold out of seats on that particular crossing.
