Our plan is spend tomorrow having a look around this area before heading down to a marina\/retail centre which allows free overnight parking, so we&#8217;re ready for tackling the infamous Bay of Biscay on Saturday. It felt a little strange taking the anti-clockwise M25 today as, for the past decade at least, all of our crossings out to the continent have been via Dover or the tunnel. This time we&#8217;ve opted for the long boat south to avoid the winter drive across France, and to just try something new. Ju&#8217;s nervous mind you, as this stretch of water has a reputation for being rough in winter, and she suffers from sea-sickness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/IMG_20200109_112657458.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-37029\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/IMG_20200109_112657458.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/IMG_20200109_112657458-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/IMG_20200109_112657458-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/IMG_20200109_112657458-705x397.jpg 705w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>There&#8217;s quite a stack of maps back home these days, but our Spain and Portugal one was falling apart, so we&#8217;ve picked up <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/gp\/product\/2067242660\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=front-page-buy-a-beer-21&amp;creative=6738&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;creativeASIN=2067242660&amp;linkId=9b8b5b57050c4c1d19390a1ffd2c5f30\">a new Michelin one from Amazon<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In terms of costs, we&#8217;ve opted for the \u00e9conomie no-frills service (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.brittany-ferries.co.uk\/ships\/economie\">website here<\/a>), which came in at \u00a3361 for our 6m motorhome, plus a bike rack and two adults.

Most of Spain&#8217;s motorways are free, so we could very quickly head across to Salamanca and then south towards Seville, although we&#8217;ve done that route before. Another option looks to be head for Madrid and take in Toledo, a city we planned to visit a few years back but left it too late into the Spring and the heat would have been too much for Charlie (our aged pooch who&#8217;s no longer with us). It&#8217;s cold at night in the centre of Spain, but we&#8217;ve heating in here, M+S tyres and chains if we did hit snow, so both routes look like goers. We&#8217;ll see. We need to be back in the UK for early May as I&#8217;m having a crack at my first 50 mile ultra marathon in Scotland; other than that we&#8217;re free to roam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/IMG_20200109_133315217_HDR.jpg\" alt=\"Bayonet LPG GPL Gun Garage UK Gas Refillable\" class=\"wp-image-37031\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/IMG_20200109_133315217_HDR.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/IMG_20200109_133315217_HDR-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/IMG_20200109_133315217_HDR-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/IMG_20200109_133315217_HDR-705x397.jpg 705w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>I&#8217;m also relieved we&#8217;ve managed to fill up with LPG on our way here!
