Bilbao to Calias
Hello
My first entry on this site, and indeed my first European tour by motorcycle. To set the scene;
I am hoping to travel from Portsmouth to Bilbao and then take in this northern part of Spain, into France, maybe touch north/west of Italy, into Switzerland, maybe Austria, Germany (Black Forest), up to the Strasbourg, then through Germany to Belgium and finally Calais - Dover ...
Now the planning is in its infancy, and I have allowed 2.5 weeks, thing is I have not as yet reviewed road maps (so any good recommendations would be helpful), nor do I have an idea of how long its likely to take or indeed the miles/km that would need to be covered. Yes I am a novice :0)
Anyways … has anyone got some suggest routes to take, places of interest in terms of natural beauty, historic towns, places to stay that kind of thing. I am aiming to do this in June / July, and would like this to be leisurely and not be under too much pressure to get the miles/km in every day.
Has anyone done similar, any advise from the more seasoned bike traveller would be very helpful and appreciated.
Cheers
Mark
