South Birmingham UK to South Spain commencing 22nd May 2022

[Coconut]

Really looking forward to riding with friends Phil & Nick down to South Spain
where Phil has a second home.

Haven't done the night Ferry Crossing ( Plymouth to Santander ) before -
last time we went was Pre-Covid ( June 2018 ) vie Eurotunnel and France.

This map shows the locations and dates where we plan to stay overnight, but are very
"fluid" and subject to change depending on our progress ( or lack of ! ) along the way !



If there are any Members in any of those areas on those dates,
who fancy meeting up for a Cerveza or two, drop me a Private Message
which I shoud be able to access, to confirm where we'll be !

Cheers

What is closest to me is the city of Burgos. But the dates don't add up to be able to meet with you.

That's a shame - It would have been good to meet up for a few Cervezas !

Brittany Ferries are superb.   I travel from Tyneside to Plymouth often on the bike to use them rather than nearer ferries.

That’s reassuring to know.

Looks like you will be passing thru some beautiful towns & cities and from the daily distances I'm guessing you are looking to avoid motorways wherever possible? Being that close to Gibraltar I would have to day trip as have never been before, with the Trophy stripped down for the customs checks . What bikes are your mates riding and will you be using a group intercom system? I have done Bilbao to Portsmouth on Brittany Ferries and the 20+ hrs passed surprisingly quickly - lovely big ship. I was lucky with a calm Bay of Biscay though. Have a great trip & look forward to seeing some pics.

The plan is to keep off the Motorways unless we need to make up time.

My friends are riding a Triumph Thunderbird,
and a Harley Street Bob ( so plenty of fuel stops !  ).

I'll be wearing my Shoei Neotec with Sena SRL,
and have checked this with one of the others -
and confired the "Universal" Intercom works.

I've visited The Rock before, but only briefly,
not sure if we will be visiting during this trip though.

Cheers

If it's a shame, I wish we could have those beers together.

In Spain at the moment the highways are free and there are no tolls...
