France & Spain Trip
France & Spain Trip
Just back from a week away. Had a great week. Weather got a little hot on Wednesday 36c.
Day 1 – Home to Rosslare
Day 2 – Cherbourg to La Rochelle
Day 3 – La Rochelle to San Sebastien
Day 4 – Toured around the Basque mountains
Day 5 – San Sebastien to Saintes
Day 6 – Saintes to Nantes
Day 7 – Nantes to Cherbourg
Stayed off all motorways & saw every little village in west France.
Petrol expensive…paid €1.74ltr in one village. Covered 3000km over the week.
Parking your bike at side of road for a rest can be tricky as the camber is going against you. Every biker salutes you:smileee:
Did about 500km a day, which took about 6-7hrs
Some great roads over there & great s c e n e r y.
Language barrier can be an issue, but that’s part of the fun.
