Did a similar trip in 2014, some Garmin BaseCamp route are available if of any interest to you.

Hostal la Font in Os de Civis.


Hotel y Aparthotel Dos Rios in Ainsa


Hotel Artexe in Bilbao is handy if getting a morning ferry back to the UK.

Thanks for the recommendations and routes (David I'll load them on my nav) San Sabastian looks good DC, I'll probably book a night there and have a lazy day before my 3:30pm crossing home Easyrider5258, I'll keep you updated, I've heard it's pretty quiet and a pleasure to ride a motorbike at the moment due to the lack of usual traffic as for the rest? I'm just going to follow the front of the bike and see what's available on booking.com..

Will you need to self isolate on in France and on return?

How are you, your family & friends coping with the current Covid-19 situation, I hope all is well.

When out on my bike, I've been very cautious in social settings. Generally, taking a picnic & eating outside rather than having to go into a café etc. Was out yesterday with a guy who's wife works at one of the local hospitals where the number of Covid related admissions has recently gone up significantly.

I'm now aware that since the schools & universities have gone back, cases locally have increased. A neighbour's son (not living at home) is at Teesside University in Middlesbrough, he's had it. Within our cul-de-sac of 10 houses, one school boy has been sent home to isolate for 14 days because his class mate was positive. Likewise, in another household, a lady is a teaching assistant, she is isolating at home for 14 days because some of her children at school were positive too.

It's certainly a timely reminder of the current situation.

Anyone found a Motorrad facemask for the R100RT? They have some on the K1600 Forum.
