Hi flea! Sorry to post on my own thread but just to pop a link in, there have been a few people from STW out to visit here and a couple of them posted on some threads…
The ferry to Bilbao is a nice option, you can either take the car or not and I get you at the ferry terminal. We did that with Big_Dummy last year and he was riding an hour and a bit after the ferry landed!The train is also a good option, I’ve just done it that way and it was really pleasant, even if I did drink a bit too much on the sleeper from London – Inverness and woke with a hangover.
Anyway, sorry for the self recommendation, it was just to get you the information. If you’re interested or want more details then just give me a mail and I’ll try to give you a honest picture of the riding our here.
