- In May I took my eBike onto the Brittany ferries route from Rosslare in Ireland to Bilbao in the Basque country - in the winter months it goes to Santander in Spain instead. In the video I bring you through boarding the ferry with a bike, review the C Lounge where you get free food and drink for the entire crossing and show you the reclining seat sleeping room that you have to book if you are not booking a cabin. At the end I also show you a wild camping spot right at the ferry entrance and from the train station platform point the direction to the ferry, town and beach.
Towards the end I refer to my 'Getting you bike on an Irish train' video, you will find that at • Getting your bike on a...
Hi there ! A very informative video which struck a chord with me as I cycled along the D-Day Beaches at the end of September from Caen to Cherbourg. I have a Brompton folding bicycle with an ARCC electric conversion and I both camped and used hotels along the way. I had booked a crossing from Cherbourg to Rosslare and it too was on the Brittanty Ferries Santońa - what a marvellous ship ! i received an e-mail on my 'phone a couple of days before the crossing and I checked-in online. I then collected my tickets at the vehicle booth before being directed to a 'holding' lane. Everything was so smooth ! I had splashed the cash on a cabin and the lounge, and the crossing was calm and incident free. I arrived in Rosslare very early in the morning and caught the first train to Dublin Connolly. Being a folding bike, I merely put a cover on it and put it on the luggage rack. A change of train was a bit of a problem as the line to the new Belfast Grand Central was not open and a bus replacement from Newry took me to Lanyon Place. A short cycle to Grand Central and I caught Hannon's bus to Glasgow Buchanan Bus Station and home. I have subscribed and intend to follow your tour of Northern Spain as I am hopefully returning to Rosslare by the same route next May before catching the Brittany Ferry to Bilbao. I fancy exploring a couple of the Vias Verdes in the 'Basque Country. Thanks again and looking forward to watching your adventures !
Wow!❤
A great post. You're an inspiration to us couch potatoes. You deserve more subscribers.
Thanks, slow but steady growth & the channel was something I drifted into but certainly the more the merrier
Excellent. Thank you for your work in making this.
Thanks for listening
Very informative. Thanks, you’ve given me another idea for a trip on my e-bike.
Yes that route to Bilbao is then a good starting point for several potential month long trips. The El Cid trail being another possibility or simply turn left for Normandy
Very informative, thank u 🎉
Glad it was helpful!
I'm hoping to do Ringaskiddy to Roscoff (with a bike) next year so this was really useful. Thank you!
Possibly doing something similar for June but only at the vague intention stage of planning. I should probably just book the ferry to light a fire under myself
