Overland trip

[Simon_100]

I contacted The Spanish Biker (Simon) for a lot of historical information prior to setting off. The HISS has great reviews and Simon has a tremendous amount of knowledge regarding Spain! ...


... hope it gives you a few ideas!

Great intro section Rod - TBH I'd been thinking the trip hadn't happened, which would have been a shame! I hope my few tips were helpful in the end - I'll be watching the full feature later this week when I'm ensconced in the Horizons Unlimited base near Teruel, where by day I'll be motoring around the sierras hiding waypoint tags for the HUMM in October.

Thanks for the heads up about the HISS - the Aragon edition is May 23rd - 27th - and there's still time to come along! - and in Catalonia (Pyrenees) September 11th - 16th - which happens to be my birthday (thumbs)

I would like to do a trip for about a week at some point this year. I was thinking about the Picos or maybe some of the Trans Portugal route - http://www.wikiloc.com/wikiloc/view.do?id=79539
Trouble is in Sept/Oct I'm not free til 3rd week in Oct and I guess the days are getting a bit short by then. I'll keep an eye on this thread though, always handy getting ideas on where to go.

That sounds ideal timing for the HUMM! :whistle:

I deliberately put that in...just to see if you were paying attention (the last 2 episodes, we do actually visit the Pyrenees)..in my voice over..I just got a little carried away!
I'm sorry we couldn't finally meet up- so I could thank you;(I had your contact details)- the episodes will explain the reason!

Ha ha, once a teacher* always a teacher, eh!

I'm having to watch on my own limited data here so I'm savouring a few episodes each evening - I see that the plot will thicken!

¡Hasta la vista!
