In this episode we leave San Sebastian in the rain. Had planned to ride the Spanish North Coastal roads in glorious sunshine and amazing views but it wasn’t to be. We get to our quirky hotel on Soto where I ramble a video diary for 5 minutes.
The individual and extended days of our extraordinarily epic Picos and Pyrenees 2022 bike trip!
And yes a GPX of the route is available

Just get in touch.
We traveled from Scotland to Newcastle for the DFDS ferry over to The Netherlands, a few days travelling down through France a week or so in Spain then back again via Belgium.
21 days in total and 3168 miles with lots of stories along the way.
The journey included roads such as the Route De Belvès, Route De Lourdes, Ca-282, Ca-1 to Sotres, N-625, Cain De Valdeon, N-621, CI-627 & 626, Col D’aubisque, Col Du Tourmalet and Col Du Aspin. And Visiting towns and cities such as Bourges, Sarlat La Caneda, Lourdes, San Sebastian, Soto, Fuente De, Jaca, Arreau, Meyronne, Rouen and Bruges,
All shot on two Gopro 8’s and a Sony A7IV and enjoyed on a BMW GS1250 motorcycle 😀🏍

Well, some people have been known to stick the hair dryer in to the wet boots 🤷♂️, go for dinner and return to smoky room🙄. To avoid the thumb pain and bypass the “dead man switch” on the hair dryer one should NOT use any kind of rubber bands or sticky tape 😇.
The hairdryer,🤔 could be that it was stipulated by the house fire insurance company so that it could not be left on , by accident of course and thus overheating and causing a blaze. Makes sense in a way with so many guests passing thro the doors.
Loving the videos i was in san sebastian last june on my way back to santander and it rained but still a lovely place.
So where we going in 2023? That’s what I want to know!! Hopefully a country where the hotel house hair dryers don’t use the deadman (safety) switch.
Buy that girl some chocolate – she had to keep her thumb on the button too long! Inferior hotel bookings… 😂 👍👍👍
Great 😎👍
Day 8 week 2 theses long term effects of cover are hellish.
What are you doing going through a red light with some one crossing the road.
Nice one, for viewers who also like offroading: Pedro Mota passed through that area halve a year ago.
My guess is the “deadman switch” is exactly what the name states. If there is an accident, your thumb will hopefully come off and it prevents it from staying on causing more damage. Love your guys adventures!!!
