Thank you for these information videos, it’s much appreciated 👍

ACAB

Very useful, thanks 👍

That’s handy to know thank you

Going that way on June 18 next year.

Leave the container empty.

Thanks for that 👍

Looks familiar. My route this year took me along the N260 through Castajon-de-sos before crossing into France near Puigcerda.

Another great video thank you, fabulous footage and views 😍. Would you mind doing an update on the CF Moto if you get chance?

Strange that most of the uk has had complete grey skies for past couple of days, no wind, hardly any birds flying around.

Is this down to weather manipulation again just like the floods in Saudi Arabia that were started on purpose but the results were far more than expected??

Let’s see what comes out of the investigation. Spain has their own cloud seeding projects and I believe Morocco has 14 ongoing projects. I suspect that there will be a massive cover up!

Often the simple things that make the difference to a journey. Thanks for taking the time to make this vid.

"The Aemet rain gauges recorded an unprecedented 491 liters per square meter in Chiva"

Im based near the Gibraltar border, and though not as bad, its been raining for 5 days straight. Yesterday I headed to Malaga, and the amount of standing water on the roads was beyond belief. Last I heard, the storm was heading towards Jerez. For anyone here, stay safe out there !

Thanks for your helpful advice. As I always use a footprint to protect the bottom of the tent, I have found that it helps to pitch the outer first, then perfectly position the footprint inside it, followed by the inner tent on top of the footprint. I find this particularly helpful if it's windy.

Cheers for the mention Oly, it's interesting to watch my own footage in the third person perspective. Looks like a good tour.

Very informative. Thanks for sharing. Subscribed.

Thanks! You can get thin and sturdy work gloves - treat yourself to a pair in case of repairs.

Looking at the last few seconds of the video, I admire you for actually leaving again. Or maybe you didn't? Thanks for the tips.

Agreed not to go down too soon but don’t be a selfish prat and go down so late that you obstruct other bikers unable to move.

Approx how much please?

Beautifully delivered. Well explained. 😊

Looks great 👍. I agree with you re small groups. Better for everyone

Cool! Glad you found them helpful 😊

Excellent tips Natalie 👌🏼

Is this now? How do you think the weather Will be like in the end of october? Going to Barcelona on 24 and heading for pyrenees after that

Sensible down to earth appraisal - I can relate to the content - well done. 👍

ha,wrong gear! found myself wrong gear and in the middle of the road looking at the views !!

just do what the spanish do,slow down a bit then ride straight through

Hi There. I am planning a trip to Northern Spain in the next couple of weeks to ride some of La Vuelta stages. Your tips are absolultly brilliant. Muchas Gracias Hombre!

Hi, Any chance I could get some more info on what this kind a trip cost in avarage. Where would be the stays, would there be tenting or air bnb or hotels. Thanks

Really useful tips and tricks,,its just a shame I never saw a vid like this before I did my european tour in May

I'd suggest stop worrying about things and just get out there. You'll soon learn what you need and don't need, how to pack items etc. Starting off (UK)... budget items would be a trip to Millets. Eurohike Tamar 2 or Avon 3 DLX tent, snooze 200 or 300 sleeping bag, cheap foam mat, upgrade pegs to rock ones from Aldi... bring pegs, bungie chords, a tent light or torch... get out there!

We are going next year 4 of us - going Santander then Spain & Portugal- have you any ideas or good routes to try out & good roads - been to Pyrenees last 2 times and now fancy Portugal cheers

Great idea! 👍

In your suite of excellent & very helpful Top Tips, this one is a really good one. All too often we only find these things out when we're already in a mess. That's exactly the wrong time to discover that no-one will help. Thanks.

Good advice to check...I'd check n make sure they'll cover repatriation too..💪😇

I used to use a Coleman petrol stove many years ago for the same reason you stated - I always had fuel available in the bike. Easily accessible fuel then - just pull the petrol pipe off the carb & fuel away. Not so easy now with fuel injected bikes, but still "do-able". Be aware though that the various additives in pump fuel will eventually block the vaporising tube. When that happens the only cure is a replacement vaporising tube - I used to carry a spare new one with me after the first time I had a blockage. Not so much of an issue if you use the recommended Coleman fuel. Best wishes.

Brilliant information. Thanks. ps I am a exped kayak paddler.

Great advice. It's also worth noting that a lot of European breakdown policies will only cover repatriation of the bike up to the market value of the bike (or what they deem the market value to be) in the event of a breakdown or accident which renders onward travel impossible. I went to Spain in June (met you on the ferry on the way out) and as I have an older bike from 2007 I opted for a much more expensive policy which had unlimited repatriation costs, since I knew they'd just value the bike at about a grand (even though it's probably worth about £3k) and write me a cheque rather than bring it home if it broke down. For about £230 it was a pricey policy but I scoured the small print and was confident they couldn't wriggle out of their obligations to return the bike home despite its age and value. Fortunately, I managed to make it through the trip without mishap, but I didn't think it was worth scrimping on the insurance even though you're essentially paying for something you hope you will never have to use.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge 🍀

brilliant as always.

I was there last year careful to aproach at the correct speed but one set i encountered went red anyway, after about 5mins i drive past it still red

Good video, thanks.

Lovely roads, and enjoyed the video, music combo

And very few cars.......even better

Hi Oly, thanks for this video, I'm using this ferry for the first time in September. Please can I ask, do the bikes unload first?

I love your top tips. many thanks for video!!!! I particularly enjoyed your second top tip min 2: 20 " just because you find 1 hole, don't stop" got me out of trouble many a time
