Two Go Exploring Spain

[DBK]

Thanks for the great trip John DBK as you were leaving San Vicente we were heading through but didn’t see your van. Now in the Picos de Europa-Leon at the Valle De Valdeon and hope to get to some of the spots that you mentioned in your post.
Hopefully the electric bill isn’t too high
All the best and pleased that you’re back safe.

Have a good trip - but the weather forecast isn't great for much of Spain for the next week or so. Luck of the draw, in any other year you could have blue skies.

Welcome home to sunny Devon, thanks for sharing your trip

And sunny it is. We escaped Spain just in time, it looks very damp over much of the country for the next week.

Aww I’m sad your trip is over - I’ve really enjoyed being a virtual passenger with you. What are you planning for your next one?

Thanks for letting us all tag along!

Thanks you for sharing your trip, very interesting and informative.
Planning the next sojourn are we ?

Very enjoyable (but I skipped the radio bits).

Planning the next sojourn are we?

I'm going to book the Plymouth/Roscoff ferry in the next few days for a crossing end of August/beginning of September with the intention of probably re-visiting Normandy again and of course Brittany, which you can't escape anyway as that's where we will land. We will be looking for cheeses and shellfish.

We are back in the uk in a few weeks, then not back out till the end of August, probably Portugal.

Late convert to this thread. Only skim read it at the moment. It's a ready made tour guide, fantastic photos and information the maps are great to orientate. Brilliant and inspirational. Thanks
Chris

And the deed is done, I've just booked Plymouth /Roscoff leaving 27 August on the overnight sailing, returning 8 October on the early day sailing. Curiously, an inside 2 berth cabin on the return sailing was free! We normally pay around £28. A cabin isn't essential on a day sailing but it gives us somewhere to shower after an early start to the day.

I just need to work out where we want to go and of course what am I going to call the MHF trip thread? "Two Go Back to France - Yet Again!" describes exactly what we will be doing but I've got three months to think of something better.

It is the time the crossing departs that makes a difference when it comes to qualifying for a free cabin. Assuming you are a Club Voyage member you can have a free inside cabin on afternoon sailings from the UK and morning sailings from France. Interestingly, you can swap your 2 berth cabin for a 4 berth inside and it will still be free or for around £8 you can have an outside 2 or 4 berth cabin on qualifying sailings. Of course, this falls down on the Armorique as the only outside cabins are Club cabins which you have to pay about half the "public" price for. We particularly like that Sunday morning trip home on the Pont as she normally goes like the clappers in order to turn round in Plymouth ready for the afternoon run to Spain.

Thanks for a hugely enjoyable trip. It must have been even better in the flesh.

Next trip " hamming it up in France" perhaps (although I wouldn't want the radio bits to take over the whole thread)?

In an earlier post I showed a photo of a grass which I couldn't identify so I just called it Pom-pom grass.

I should have called it Lagurus ovatus also known as Hare's tail or Bunnytail.
