Ferry from UK to Bilbao (Pyrenees) - a better way?
Next May we plan to do 7-10 days in the Pyranees.
The route is not yet planned (but it seems well travelled so I can't see getting some GPS routes will be tricky) and we don't have bikes yet ! But will pick up a CRF250l (for her) and an XT660 for me (probably) over the winter.
It seems the one thing I should sort sooner rather than later is ferry tickets as I hear they sell out.....so before I do....
Based in Reading so Portsmouth is only a few hours away taking it slow......Bilbao seems pretty close to the mountains.....am I missing anything when I assume the ferry is going to be the one part of this trip that's a no brainier?
Riding down through France looks a waste - the ferry is 24 hrs - Whats not to like?
