      I'd spotted that too at a glance, likely1300 GT.
      Just before the meetup, was what looked like rear view of a yellow Caterham 7..! following a lorry and range rover...? Interesting what can be seen out there at time.

    You finished at Covadonga! Welcome to my home. I moved here in 2019 just before Covid struck. My family and I now live iin El Corralon up a mountain and love this area. We have donkeys, badgers, slow worms, frogs, 'wild cows' birds of prey, wall lizards, beetles and other creatures that regularly visit us where we live.
    Enjoy sharing your ride with others.. The Himalayan is the right size and power for these roads! XXXXXXX

    Havent done that crossing in 19 yrs wow the ferry is a lot different with bikes. Probably about 30 bikes when I went! As usual fab entertainment thankyou. Having to give up my beloved motorcycling For health reasons unfortunately but will bike vicariously through u tube channels. Never thought would come to this. Thank you. Asturias and Galicia and the Picos are my favourite rides abroad and I’ve done most of Europe. The beauty is astounding as well as the people and the food. Was my hope prebrexit to live there. At 66 I will be able to in a few months but now can’t bloody ride

    There's no doubt about it Charlie, The Picos de Europa area is probably the best introduction to touring Spain on a bike. I try to keep a lid on my excitement regarding my October trip every year, but you've blown that lid clean off! What a great warmup to what was obviously a great trip - it's going to be fascinating to watch as always. Oh, and that Austin 1300GT! Not seen one of them for decades! Looking forward to part 2 and beyond. 😎

Now living in Penrith Cumbria it took me and my wife 7 hours to ride to Portsmouth to catch the ferry last year. We're now going to tour Scotland & Ireland. Enjoy the Picos, great area.

Easier to hold when stopping in front of roadcrosses, you name it. I have had a lot of big bikes so I talk of experiance. Now I have light bikes. Well the Honda 750 DCT is my havyest bike.

    I understand your nerves trying to maneuver Roger on the boat. Not easy. Great idea to do Los Picos de Europa. Nice easy run from Santander, and fabulous scenery. Spain is a paradise for bikes. (One important reason why I enjoy living there). You might consider the Pyrenees next time (from either Santander or Bilbao). If you go that way next time you may also want to practice your French on Duolingo!

    I have two pics that were taken many years ago boarding the ferry, one on a 1200 Bandit and another on a Triumph Daytona. We had an overnight stay before boarding the ferry. The number of bikes boarding was about 20% of what now seems the norm. Got that same pic of the wake behind the ferry too. It used to be 24 hours, someone told me it is now 36?

    I was glad to see that you made a film of doing such a long journey on a Himmy. When I inquired about one at my local dealer, he said that, while it was fine for pottering about country lanes, it was an absolute pig on the highway, which rather put me off. I take it you would disagree?

    • @restdayrider
      @restdayrider  3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      It's not an absolute pig on motorways, but it's not a race horse either. It's more of a reliable and steady dog.

    How did you sleep on the boat? I hope it wasn't too rocky.
