Our trip to Spain that was postponed when Covid spoilt everyone’s party is on for April/May, hopefully. Checked the ferries and dates; need to get booked in now.

I checked prices for Plymouth-Santander return last week (admittedly with outside window cabin) but almost £1k !!! 
I would normally have booked by now as it fills up quickly, but prices have risen yet again and heard from a few sources that the Picos is really busy now (my last visit was 10-15 yrs ago), I more often head East out of the ferry.
So I’m still cogitating…
I’ve also heard bikes are banned in parts of the Pico’s?
Certainly on some of the higher minor roads in the Pyrenees. Haven’t heard they’ve done similar in the Picos, but then I haven’t really checked there?
Aren’t there some weekend bike bans in Germany or Austria too?
(Or was that caravans 
)
An internal cabin from Portmouth - Santander, coming back via Bilbao, was just about the same - a gnat’s whisker under a grand. That price is for two bikes.

Checked the prices of the Hull to Rotterdam ferry, £440 with a cabin 
May end up sharing with snorers but that’ll still be a bit over £300.

So, now have ferry tickets for Europe after urgent message from friend who said he’d found there was only 5 bike places left so he’d got tickets for us three on hold for the next half hour and should he click ‘buy’? Apparently we’re travelling TT week, though you’d think it wouldn’t be as busy for us as we’re travelling the opposite way to people coming for the TT (out day before race day, coming home day after last race).

One way? You doing a runner? 
Snow should have just about gone by then….
Still plenty here at the minute… 
I’ve done all the clues, my coloured thumb tacks have arrived, now waiting for my A1 map of the UK and some warmer tarmac…

Is this a regional thing or do you travel all over the UK?
Prep for the warmer weather
