Spain in September
 
Travelling to Spain and Mallorca around 24th September. I fancy doing some camping but have no experience of camping. Looking for someone to have a relaxed two week(or part of) trip and help learn the good, bad and ugly of camping in the sun.

Hi, I have 2 weeks left for Autumn and was thinking about Spain as well.
What are you riding and what type of riding are you interested in?

Hello,

Thanks for your reply. I have booked a ferry for the 24th September and am returning on 6th October.

As far as riding is concerned, I avoid toll roads and motorways. I like to ride through the country roads. Whilst I am not a slow rider, I am not out there to ride as fast as I can. I want to enjoy the sights, sounds and smells without them passing as a blur !

From an experience point of view, I have regularly travelled around Europe. I have spent time in morocco and ridden across Southern Africa. I have also ridden in America. I am 54 and have been riding since I was 16 withiut a break.

I am fairly experienced, but I am always happy to learn from others. That is why I am looking to learn from someone about camping. I may hate it and resort to finding a room, but I really would like to give it a go.

What about you. What can you tell me please ?

Peter

Hi Peter,
I am fairly experienced as well, thirty years of riding or so.
I enjoy on road and even more off-road so would like to check some local trails there - that's why I asked you what are you riding on because if goldwing it will be hard :) Currently I use xt660z tenere for such trips. Anyway same as you I avoid highways like a plague and prefer relaxing riding. These days I don't do a lot of camping unless I am in remote locations because cost of private accommodation is really low, sometimes same as place on camp ground.
PM me if you want to talk more, my plans are still open.

I will be on a Wing.

Most probably my GS.

I assume that by PM you mean private message. I have no idea how to do that !!

Meant to say NOT on Wing !!!

it's OK to be on wings though ;)


BTW it would be nice to do such trails like Harry did in Pyrenees.



and then you could camp in wild.
