    You'd never catch the south east massif start a tour like that ;)

    I've just got on the train home!! I'm surprisingly organised, all I need to do is pack and I think the maps have turned up lol.... But that can wait after a few beers with the boys ;)

    My tour starts now..... Happy fooking days. Ole ole ole ole....

    hope you have GoPro's and somebody taking a laptop to back up footage (or plenty of cards)

    It can really take over / add loads of time but getting some 'incidental' clips of stuff off bikes when at petrol stations / the gang leaving etc. all really good to put in and using a mini tripod raises the quality of the finished product no end - but i know its a ball ache, that said when I watch back DVD's from my trips down there in 2010 / 11 they are mint and a brilliant reminder!

    One thing I learnt recently - google maps will cache maps - so zoom in on areas you plan to go in the UK / on wifi then you can use them without data while over in Spain

    Having a mare.

    On my way back from a two day meetig in Peterborough, journey's normally a couple of hours or so.

    5.5 hrs later and still not home- M11 closed, get hit up the arse sitting in traffic and now sat still on the M25.

    Haven't packed yet!

    Have a great time fellas!! Colin, the van is a great idea mate, only reason the Southerners wouldn't use one is 'cos they're so close to the ferry anyway! Myself and GaryB used one last year and was one of the best ideas on the trip........Motorway travelling on a bike is shit!

    So you did! I stand corrected. You could so easily have left a van on my drive though! :)
