The trip beckons...
Here's a quick intro to what we're doing.We leave tomorrow shortly after lunch, but we've still got to:
- Prep the Scottoilers
- Pack our panniers & top boxes
- Save our documents digitally online
- Inform the banks
- Print the itinerary
- Get our spare bulb & fuse kits
- & send the wife to the beauticians ;-)
We're off!
Day 0 Cheshire to Cwmbran - 185 miles.We left sunny Cheshire this afternoon & managed to avoid all the rain down to South Wales. Staying with my parents tonight so home made food & a nice bed.
We've spent the last 5 days riding the Pyrenees & struggling to find any wifi access!Cwmbran to Plymouth - 140 miles
The problem with the scottoiler turned out to be a broken injector, we stopped off to see the very helpful chaps @ South Wales Superbikes before stopping again at Fowlers in Bristol - repairs made we headed for Plymouth & the ferry.
Santander to Bilbau - 70 miles +
After another prolonged absence of wifi we hit the French Riviera!Ax les Thermes to St Romaine de Tarn (Millau) 160 miles
We're all home safe & well.The Alps, Black Forest & Ardennes.The Alps
We left St Martin Vesubie heading north west, unfortunately the col de la Bonette was closed due to heavy snow, so we took the Col de la Cayolle instead to Barcelonnette.
Following the roads north we took the Col de Vars then the Col d'Izoard to Briancon where we spent the night at aprox 1200m altitude.
