I've just booked up for this tonight. I'm doing the full weekend.

Wildbad Weekender on the 28th - 30th July. Then probably jog off to somewhere in Europe for a couple of weeks.

Anybody fancy the Weekender, get booked up. :)

Right, onto Amazon for a new tent. 🎪

Started booking the hotels for the follow up jaunt to the Algarve tonight

Day 1&2 - Wildbad Weekender (Tent camping)
Day 3 - Ypres, Belgium
Day 4 - Omaha Beach, France
Day 5 - Rochefort, France
Day 6 - Bayonne, France
Day 7 - Santander, Spain (Back into the tent for this leg)

I'll book the rest over this week with a couple of days in the Algarve via the twisty routes.

Getting excited now. :)

Booked 90% of the hotels and camp sites now.

We've booked an apartment in Albufeira, for 2 days to have a day off the bikes and get on the lash.

The way down after the Wildbad Weekender.

If you’re returning on the ferry from Santander I can give you my ‘Club voyage members’ discount code. You’ll get 10% off the ticket price but not off the cabin price.

Also I have to ask why you’re going via Sahagun which takes you across the ‘Oh so boring plain’ when you could go over the Picos via Potes and Riano then on towards Leon. Far more fun providing its not pissing down of course like it was when I did it a month or two ago. Even so, it was better than going across the plain.

That’s a lot of riding you’re planning in 18 days.

I've already booked the ferry, but ta anyway. (y)

I know it's a lot of riding, but we have a day off in the Algarve. It's the way me and my mate wanted it.

I ended up going to Leon instead of Sahagun by the way. That route I previously posted is basically just point to point, I've plotted each leg out after this using my TomTom. Here is the route it is taking me to Leon. It looks twisty enough, but I'm open to suggestions. :)

Hmmm, I'm not repeating the order you put in for yourself, but thanks for the suggestion, blubber chops. :)
 
Are you off to Squires for your holiday this year?* :)













*Saying you've just been to Eastern Europe to visit an ex doesn't count as a holiday either. :unsure:
