Hola mis amigos. (also: bike transport)

I was planning to bring my bike to Spain. However, it would seem that
the weather in England/France/Northern Spain is utter utter shite and
bloody cold etc.

Does it cost stacks to ship a bike abroad? Anybody around here know?

Apart from that, I'm missing you all desperately and I'm a lying bastard.

See some of you on a BOTAFOT in a few weeks maybe? Be nice to catch up
(not that I ever could).

Paul.

 

Look for a J.R. in es.charla.moteros. He works at the Valencia harbour
customs and has *some* idea about shipping a bike.

 

Why not just take the ferry to Bilbao/Santander. Granted, there might be
some shit weather in Northern Spain but at least most of the riding will
have been done.

 

I have the pleasure of a Moody 38 next week out of southern Spain. Better be
nice weather or I ain't sailing it to Morocco, it doesn't have the in-cabin
auxiliary helm option.

Anyone sailed near Gib? just how ferkin busy is it?

 

Is it heck as like, there was a small amount of snow and as usual the
southern softies could not cope. Heck , they even cancled the
Middlesborough V Arsenal game, not because of the pitch but because they
knew the Londoners would not be able to cope with a small sprinkling of
snow around the area.

Currently warm, with a bit of wind and rain.

Give me the keys, a weeks pay and a ticket back and I'll bring it over for
you. Has to be this week as my payrise kicks in next week if you want it
cheaper

 

Gracias. Visitaré mas tarde.

Pablo.

It´s an option, but that ferry is having a re-fit (it´s also an
expensive route). Also, Coming down through Northern Spain, I believe
it´s impossible to avoid the mountains. Lovely countryside, but they´re
currently having rather a lot of snow up there.

The wife tells me it took an hour to drive half a mile. Like you say,
daan saaf they can´t cope the merest sprinkling of snow.

Actually, it wasn´t so much the UK section that I was on about.

Paul.

 

I?m still considering it. Won?t be for a couple of weeks anyway.

Paul.

 

heh. Pablo Carmichael. Excellent.

Excellent young newbie, keep up the good work and you will fit in round
here in no time.

 

Do you know steve, if you had seen fit to leave an attribution line in
then the rest of the world would know to whom you addressed that
reply.

I didn't want TOG to find out.

 

I´ve actually got used to it now. There´s only 2 Pablos in the village
and I´m one of them.

¿Perdón?

Is that gaelic?

;-)

 

The ferry drops you in Santander, there should be a decent road to Bilbao,
then former N-I (now A-1) down to Madrid, M-40 to surround it and former
N-IV (now A-4) all the way down Despeñaperros to sunny Andalucia. Except for
the Santander-Bilbao which I don't know, it's two lanes highways all the
time.

 

Since Morocco authorities were forced to keep an eye on illegal emigration,
the likeliness of hitting a zodiac crowded by some 35 Africans is much
smaller.

Keep in mind that places like Tarifa are famous for their (lots of) wind.
