Trip to Portugal
 

Done the trip a few years ago and planning again for next year. If you get the chance don't give up the pleasures of the Pousada and Parador hotel chains in Portugal and Spain. Contact me if you need more details - I used a UK based firm and they helped me sort out for a group of 10 people.

As for the choice of ferry to Spain or ride through France. If time is on your side there is no option, two wheels is always better than a glorified bath tub across the Bay of Biscay.:mchappy:

Anyone going then?
 

Anyone definitely going by the Calais route?

I've posted to another thread as this one seems a bit dead. I'd be interested in sharing the journey through France/Spain. If anyone can give an idea about how long that might take then please share your knowledge. I thought that from Manchester to somewhere like Rouen and then to somewhere in the Pyrenees then perhaps 1 more stop before getting there...Maybe I'm way off the mark.

Thanks

New job and a wedding I now need to attend in late August means I cant make this now.

Ill be going to Dakota's unofficial meeting in October if its still on ????

Still doing the Calais route then.

Nicholas,
There are some useful comments about time and distance in one or two of the posts in here:-

Other than that, the answer to your question is the proverbial "how long is the bit of string?". How fast do you want to ride, how often do you want to stop on route, how long do you want to ride each day, are you camping or hotelling, etc etc?

Yes Ted, it's on. Have sent you a mail today. Just confirming availability dates with a few people and will be posting the info within the next few days.

Not sure if mails are getting through to you - I'm using your new address, but send me a mail just to confirm it.
