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.

The final stretch

I had a lie in today, till 8am. Not as if we had anywhere to ride to, being stuck, as we are, in the Atlantic/Channel.

Once dressed I walked down to the bar area. I knew I'd find Sanch there. He'd already had a coffee and croissant but was more than up for a full English.

We were due to dock at 14:15 but we've been told there will be a 90 minutes delay due to adverse currents! We reckon the captain let the little Spanish bod at Bilbao fill the ship up instead of doing it himself, consequently he's short of diesel. As every biker knows, the only way to guarantee a full tank is to fill it yourself.
