I heard the Spanish roads are lined with virgins who throw rose petals at passing bikers. (could have been another one of my daydreams though) We have a similar thing in stoke but no virgins and they throw oatcakes.

I've just secured the ferry crossing (Seacat fast jobbie as I'm not a great fan of the Sea), so only thing left to do is arrange work leave.

I'd like to share a cabin for the week with a suitable non-smoking/farting person who is guarenteed not to sleepwalk - <!--coloro:#FF0000--><!--/coloro-->any takers?<!--colorc-->

Wish I could get my 9er's fuel consumption upto Danny's standard, if I remember rightly he was getting around 65 mpg going to Germany last year [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/ranting.gif[/img]

[Guest]

I have to confess that ive put some weight on since then.

I bet you haven't put as much on as me, I'll be lucky to see 40 mpg !

Probably going to book Sea France Portsmouth - St Malo over night ferry on the Thursday and ride down through France on the Friday, see how far I can get and camp arriving some Saturday. Not sure about the return leg but it'll be from St Malo - Portsmouth day crossing.

How did you get the outward crossing so cheap Danny - comes up as £125 for the bike and passenger and £17 for a seat when I try it? [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif[/img]

I'm looking at the Friday 3rd Dover/Calais with Norfolk Lines with the Bongo and trailer and back by Santander on August 8th by Brittainy Ferries

That's what I paid yesterday. Ferry companies do have a habit of increasing their prices as time moves along but I can't see them upping them that much, that quickley.

[Guest]

Just checked my e-ticket to check I got it correct and yes I have. 1 adult + 1 motorcycle £75.00, reclining seat £7.00. I did book by phone as a mate said you could get a better deal.

Out of interest, I've just been on the website again and it's still coming out at a total of 120 squids for both journeys. Don't know what you're doing wrong Alan.

When the Lovely Mrs TeDeum was booking our ferries online she saw an offer disappear before her eyes while she was looking for a quote from another operator in a new window. So it does happen.

Fri Tossa
Sat Tossa
Sun 5th Tossa to Andorra
Mon 6th Andorra to Campsite

Anyone know a hotel in Andorra?

Makes for interesting viewing on Google Earth, a lot of riding going on!
