    Forget the curry, it’s too rushed between arriving at the house then going on from there

    How about we order a couple of pizzas and sit down with a laptop and a map and iron a solid plan out

    For the record, I am not overly bothered

    The only other option is then France run. Gives us freedom to move when we want

    It’s not Tuesday to Tuesday because your sitting on a ferry either side of that.

    That’s the options unless we move the date completely or run through France.

    Okay so I have been in contact with the owner of …

    https://www.ownersdirect.co.uk/france/fr11616.htm?cid=E_inqconfirm_DB_T__Property_LPROP__

    Its available at present, there is no driveway for parking however she believes we can park up on the next door neighbours drive, although she will confirm of we need.

    Personally, I think this is the better option. Regardless of parking (that’s what locks are for), this has location, availability and cheapness, plus it looks good.

    I am also concerned since Brittany ferries are already getting booked up. I think we need to push on a firm plan over the next two weeks

    Okay, so if we land Tuesday morning and ride to Pamplona for Tuesday night then onto base camp for Wednesday night.

    Leave base camp Monday morning, back to Pamplona Monday night before an early run to Bilbao for Tuesday morning.

    Found another option, although on the expensive side, does include breaky and evening meal

    Personally I would rather go for self catering due to various dietary requirements but its am idea

    I have contacted the owner by email about the property I posted, asking about availability and parking details.

    I will let you know what you want to know when I know what they know… you know?

    Well mine will stay in the living room because she doesn’t like being outside :)

    On a serious note, I never really checked. But that website is full of properties in that area

    Per person, is your price based on 21st because that’s full?

    Just had an ‘online’ chat with a Brittany ferry advisor. Not the easiest way of talking but I got a price of £328, for 6 bikes. 18th to santander, 19th to bilbao and 23rd are currently available but 21st has no motorcycle spots left. Annoyingly she put the return trip as 29th for all options and I have only just noticed but I think that’s what we are looking at either way.

    Last time we went to Europe on the bikes the camping and caravanning club sorted all our bookings out. Might phone them Monday and see if they have a different price

    Very nice, but I don’t think Ses will like the fancy food! (Find the foto gallery)
