It’s not a mini-cruise. It’s a fucking ferry - An X-rated ADVenture….

[Arsey]

Keep going then..

That’s the plan

 

[Arsey]

adv is a nc750 with scooter clothes

Crikey . That is very sad

Are you staying at the Hotrl du Levant in Castellane? Bumped into you in the garage there circa 2008. Believe your 747 was on a GS in those days.

No. Staying in Nouvel Hotel du Commerce .
I paid £210 for 747 and sold it for £5k.
Now on 787

This trip report has more tangents than my nieces telling me about their day

Loving the routes and hotels though. Lots of updates to my Santander- Cain trip in June being made.

Tangents are inevitable when reports are written as they happen in real time and at coffee/lunch/dinner time. Writing one post trip, requiring to diarise each and every day… it’s too much faff for the creator of that content.

I personally like a full blown story*, others prefer snippets of it here and there. A bit like them annoying YouTube “Short” videos. Gives you an idea what happening, but hardly a broader picture. This is not say that this ride report is limited to a mere few words and dozen of pictures. It is just different to other ride reports I have read over the years on here.


*My take on ride report:

I like to go into more detail, rather than just a. Few words, you know where I have been, what I have seen, would I recommend said scenery/establishment to others, what route I’ve taken and what too keep an eye out for whilst traveling said route, rather than plonking a map of a route on a forum and “figure it out for your self mate”, I like a bit of culture and heritage, stopping at and taking time gazing at a viewpoint, (they are there for a reason), rather than snap a photo of it, then another of a bike at it and back on the road in under 2 minutes.
Some on here enjoy a different take, while others loathe it as much as a heavy literature reading.

There again, we are all so very different, in what we like, prioritise, etc, in no different way to a selection of popular film directors. They all are directors, but each and everyone has a different directing approach. We do not have to like them all.

Anyway back to Arseys ride report. My apologies for the interruption.

Didn't realise you were a veggie: You've never mentioned it.

Now you know, even if you had to be reminded once again

No complaints from me. Always love a ride report no matter how varied!

Have you seen my cartwheel? Watch watch watch!

Which way are you guys heading now? Still back up through France?
