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.

What a night

Not a good night. Pretty much everything was wrong.

The bed is hard, with a duvet insufficient for the temperatures overnight, 5 degrees. Had we thought about it, I guess we may have been able to put the heating on, Sanch was happily snoring away but I couldn't get off. Not helped by the pillow, a bolster type, raising my head about a foot off the bed. Eventually I got up, ditched the pillow and got two blankets out of the cupboard, one for the bed, one to use as a pillow. That at least made me more comfortable, until that was, I kept getting cramp in my right calf, probably because the bed is too short for a six footer.

Once I did get to sleep, I had the inevitable early morning call at 6am. On the plus side, we can see the top of the mountain this morning.
