Many thanks
Hi all
Thanks for the replies. It certainly gives me food for thought. I am confident my bike is up to the journey and I have some new rubber waiting to go on for the journey. I am sailing from Portsmouth to Cherbourg, as other ferry crossings don't fit my dates. Santander was an option but the ferry is already booked. I have six days to get to Faro as there is a bike meet there for 4 days, however there is no pressure to turn up on day one, so there is some flexibility in that part of the journey.
I do appreciate the advice about enjoying the journey and not making it a chore. After Faro I have three days to get to northern Spain for a two day off road navigational event and then 9 more days to chillax and get back. I am very excited about the whole thing.
Now I just need to learn to blog, read a map, get a sat nav, learn some French, Spanish and Portugese. Not much then!!!!!!!
Thanks again. Ben
