UK to Spain on a budget
Hello,
I've been searching through the forums trying to find some information with no success, so apologies if this has been asked before and I've missed it....
We're planning on riding our smallish bikes from UK to Spain (and possibly Portugal) this summer. Originally we were going to join the PyrekneesUp, but work commitments prevented this unfortunately and the hotel etc for the HUMM is too much for us as we're trying to do this trip on the cheap.
UK - Spain ferries are too much (£550+ each)! 
Motorail through France won't operate in 2010 (apparently)
So we're left with riding them (DRZ400 & Serow XT225) from the UK, down through France on B & C roads to the Pyrenees and beyond, depending on time. We've got two weeks for this little venture.
Can anyone provide any info on routes, campsites or places in the countryside where you can pitch up without risk of getting lynched/arrested/robbed etc? Hotels and Autoroutes are a big no no.
Or if there's any websites/blogs/forum threads on this topic I'll happily read up.
Many thanks.
Simon & Helen
