Cheltenham for us. 150 miles from Plymouth and half way home.
Doc does Spain with our lass

- Start date
Back in 2019 I was glad of the Princetown berth, ferry from Santander was due at 2pm and it was delayed until 6.30pm and it was mid October, so nights drawing in and it was raining
Tempers and emotions were running high with bikers and some guys I was travelling with weren’t happy with a long, wet & dark ride home with many getting home at 1-2am
I was in the B&B by 7.30pm and in the pub by 8 pm
I was thankful and had a great dry ride home the following day
Fab report Doc and a great pleasure meeting you at last. Make sure to come our way next time and sample our hospitality - there's room in the garage even for your monster and a nice spare room with its own bathroom 
And, er, let me know when the ferry actually embarks and I'll open un the dungeon and ket the virgins out, they're crawling up the walls having me incarcerated for their own safety for nineteen days!

Still enjoying your holiday pics and reports, I'll be pissed off when you get home ....having said that the weather reports from Slawit aren't too bad ...ride safe you two
on the road. 
It’s a mission driving down from the north, those softie southerners don’t know how fortunate they are to have the ports close by.I think Chris means the long slog down from Slawit to Plymouth .
It’s a three day ride, FFS
Then again, they also have the high density population to deal with, and the fact they’re miles and miles away from Gods Own County…
We once had a family of black pigs trott across the rd in front of us from undergrowth very simlar to that; it was up in the mountains near monterjaque in southern spain;; it just brought it back seeing that.
oh; and when it rains boy does it rain.
Beer o Clock before I throw this feckin mirror overboard.

Has boredom set in yet?
how many laps of the deck have you completed already? Bon Voyage to you both.
Cheers. It set in waiting with all the others.Has boredom set in yet?

Never bothered me Ev.I hope your sea legs are stronger than mine, as Bay of Biscay can be a bit choppy about an hour into the jaunt.
Yet
An enjoyable read, great pics.
