This is exactly what I'm hoping to do next year with a few mates. Looks bloody fantastic, stunning scenery (you had great weather), I really can't wait to get up there.

Thanks for posting.

Just wow! An absolute pipe dream for years for me. I would love to go on the X Country - how far to fuel? It looks really remote, but is there fuel available?

That puts it within fuel range then. I must sort out a ferry and make the effort.

Start saving then.

Potes to Sotres via Espinama is less than 30 miles !! You could fill up in Potes and ride the trail to Sotres and back via Espinama on half a tank !! We hadn’t filled up since Exeter !!

You wont regret it Simon, in 50yrs of riding, probably the best day ever

Yes it is .

For anyone contemplating this track, do it.

I rode this trail two up with Mrs N a while back now from Sotres to Espinama, just wonderful. It gets a bit rocky in the middle, but should be easy if you are a single rider pretty much on any bike!

I go back to this area frequently, mainly to watch the Griffon Vultures when walking in the mountains above this trail.

No, no, no. Just wondered if it was the place I stayed a few years ago. It is.
