A Fistful of €uros

2019 sees the Wild Hogs, Woody and Grizzly, embark on another marathon tour. After the cold snowy mountains of Norway in the north, they now take on the hot dusty plains in the south, touring the Iberian peninsula. They’ll come together to begin their journey in Portsmouth, sailing to Bilbao, before spending around 30 days trekking through Spain, Portugal and into the Pyrenees of Andorra and France, before returning to Bilbao and Portsmouth. It's an epic journey totalling some 4250 road miles.

All Aboard

After Grizzly being told the 2019 sailings would be released mid July and me end of July, this evening I received an email from Brittany Ferries to say they were available.

A quick look at the sailing schedule showed a change to the sailing days/times from Santander, leaving me no choice but to cut the trip short by a day and to bring us back via Bilbao. It's no big deal, it just means instead of 2 nights in Pamplona, we'll have a night by the seaside in San Sebastian instead, which sounds THE place to go for some Basque tapas style delicacies.

It's all booked now with a deposit paid, so that's a huge weight off my shoulders. All I need to do now is fine tune the route and make sure I have enough waypoints to ensure Tomtom goes where we want to go and not where 'she' thinks we should.

That's all for now.
