Plans have been firmed up a little. I am to travel with my motorcycle Buddy Lorenz Howitz.
We have known each other for less than two years and seem to rattle along with each other
pretty nicely. Time will tell.
The difficult part of any motorcycle adventure in Spain is the getting there and so we have
decided to take the soft but sensible option of transporting the bikes to Spain in a van.
There are several benefits to this arrangement which are -
1, The most boring and probably
wettest part of the journey will be done in relative comfort
2, We will have the luxury of a van roof over our heads should things go odd shaped.
3. It gives us the chance to take 2 motorcycles each, A dirt bike for skidding around
mountain tracks and a more road biased machine for more road biased riding.
4. We hope to plant the van somewhere secure and thus have a base-camp should
we need it. Tools and extra kit can be garaged there.

Our initial idea was to voyage from Plymouth to Santander in the north of Spain.
Doing a little research led me to realise that with Channel crossings being comparitively
inexpensive, the money saved by doing a Channel crossing would fund an enjoyable
French add-on to our adventure. This is now a firm plan.
