My girlfriend and I are planning to rework our summer camping holiday a bit.
The original idea was to go Calais (not ideal departure point, but fixed due to a wedding down there), Pyrenees, Northern Spain, Santander ferry home.
However due to a couple of unforeseen circumstances we are looking to stip out some cost and the biggest ticket item so far is the Biscay ferry home. So I am looking for other ideas.
We already have all the camping kit so will be Camping.
What we want to get out of the holiday is;
1. I want to ride a Hors Cat road climb.
2. GF want’s to spend a couple of days chilling out on a beach(if this could be tied concurrent with 1 then all the better!)
3. Some culture, towns to wander round sight seeing etc.
4. some easy bike rides for the pair of us to enjoy. GF currently walks on the green @ Glentress so it has to be really easy going.
5. General stuff to do like hiring a canadian canoe, walking etc. We don’t want to spend more than a couple of days lounging as we get bored!
I will hopefully be taking both my road bike and either my Full Sus or geared Pompetamine depending on terrain / suggestions. So if some bonus mountain biking can be factored in, all the better.
We have 2 weeks off work last week of Aug / first of September.
What regions & campsite suggestions do you have wise ones?
Thanks
