Good to hear your trip went well, thanks for the video, you make the point of being alone in the middle of nowhere and the possibility of getting in to trouble, something I'm not sure I would risk, we all know our limits I suppose but that would always be in the back of my mind. The pictures look great and I enjoyed listening, thanks
Very interesting, I would like to know what booking site you use to get offered truckers to share with !!! I didn’t get that offer . No seriously I’m on my way home now after a month in Spain , Portugal , Sardinia and Italy , bit of off road in Portugal ,riding in the mountains in Italy ,all on my own in Spain ,Sardinia and Italy , thoroughly recommend doing these trips as you say but be aware alone is dangerous in sparse areas . Be safe .
Sounds to me like you would be better picking a location somewhere in spain or portugal and going out on different loops each day, that would get you your preferred base/hotel of choice and you would also get the variation on riding and ability to choose what to do with your time. On your point about the concentration and missing the landscape etc, well you are riding a motorcycle off road alone and in a foreign land often away from anywhere as you say - focus on the challenge is paramount - your health is at risk as i am sure you well aware. There was absolutely nothing stopping you from making different choices along the way which you rightly did after a few days in the saddle, experience gained - well done for doing it and i hope the next one works out more to your liking, that said i struggle when i hear these stories because it is almost like people out there think what they read and see will not apply to them when on the TET. Simply out riding in the UK you may never bump into someone in a 12 hour ride, never mind in the Spanish deserts or mountains, my mind boggles.

Thanks for watching. Yes, the idea of choosing perhaps a couple of bases and then riding out from there is an option I've thought of.
For peace of mind use a Garmin Inreach Satellite communicator
Great video
