The local bar/restaurant run by Jerome and Virginie is also a popular destination for us.

Good to meet you both and the Nicholls clan on Tues. Great place for a summer meeting ( perhaps). The weather wasn't so nice this last week. Will probably meet again quite soon, in the meantime seasonal greetings.

Good to meet you too John. I hope your completion on the new house goes well and hope to meet up again probably in the new year now.

The longest straight path on land in the world runs from Sagres in Portugal to Jinjiang in Fujian province, China. It is 11 241.1 kilometers long.
This should be the next great overland route, next to Ushuaia-to-Prudhoe-Bay and Nordkapp-to-Capetown. Who wants to be first to do it?

From Sagres
Well, at least I am close to the starting point....
1 h to the Lighthouse west of Sagres.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cape_St._Vincent
Impressing place. To park there and think that on the other side of that ocean is the American Continent. ANother "end of the woorld" feeling.
I like travelling by motorcycle.
To ride the bike, sleep in tent, adapt to cultures.... no problem.
But I do not think that I woule be able to handle the paperwork that is needed for such a trip. I am more worried about Visas, carnets, .... than the travelling itself.
(Sagres - Nordkapp is 5 600 km)
There is a Iron Butt from Spain to Nordkapp

Train fans already do it, from Villa Real De Santo Antonio in Portugal to Ho Chi Minh city is one of the worlds longest train rides, I have worked it out 17 Stages.
Cheers

New to Horizons Unlimited?
New to motorcycle travelling? New to the HU site? Confused? Too many options? It's really very simple - just 4 easy steps!
Horizons Unlimited was founded in 1997 by Grant and Susan Johnson following their journey around the world on a BMW R80G/S.
Read more about Grant & Susan's story
Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
