It's a nice ferry that, plenty of room to move about and pretty good facilities too. Love that moment when they open the doors and you drive out on the bike into the sunshine and the heat :-0)
Enjoy the trip @tu*

I'm looking forward to when they open the doors and we drive ON, out of the rain and wind :-0)

Out for about 2 weeks.
We have rented a fairly remote chalet for the first week in the Picos mountains with a view to basing ourselves there and touring out to explore the Picos mountains and the errr roads, (Don't tell my wife though, I have classed that as sightseeing h1d1ng2).
Then travelling back via San Sebastian into France and up via St. Emilion and Poitiers. No route just meandering or " sightseeing" :-0).
Arriving in Caen for the ferry back to Portsmouth.
Accom booked in the above places.
It was excellent to be honest. Couple of things we'd change but the area of the Picos was fabulous, both the sights and the roads @tu* very little traffic encountered when we were touring in the mountains, watch out for goats and the odd rock or two that might have come down overnight. Northern Spain is lovely as are the locals,not really spoilt as yet by the great British holidaymaker. We spent just over a week around the Picos, then rode along the coast to San Sebasti?n, a great place to have a couple of days chilling off the bike @tu* then over the border into France and north to the coast. Boring ride up through France after Northern Spain though

I was booked to go mid August but we managed to change to mid June after some work was cancelled. Main reason for changing was temperatures!
