After 6 days bombing round northern Spain in a piece of crap corser, sleeping on a rock hard bed giving me a stiff neck, and 1.5 hour Ryan air flight, with SCRATCH CARD announcements every 15mins  ... I Can Not Tell you how pleased I was to get in my car at Stanstead and drive home.

Filthy weather, storms and lightening, floods and no visibility in places on the m25 and m4. No problem. Smooth comfy power.

Haaaahhh My Car. My lovely lovely car.

Was Spain itself to your liking? I hope you got up into the Picos de Europa?

[Radar]

I know what you mean - i tend to drive SWMBO Fiesta and only occasionally drive the mig now. Absence makes the heart...

[Darth Loo-knee]

Think your right there Chris. You seem to take them for granted when you either swap cars or use another....

[feeutfo]

Spain was very much to my liking Varche, I wonderful part of the world. Not as hot as the south, but that's a plus IMO.

Take the North coast of Cornwall, and the Lake district with snow on top, and multiply by about 500. Dramatic cost lines from Bilbao past Santander to Llanes and Barro where we stayed, then up to Cavadonga, and the lakes above. Snow covered mountains, and 1.5 hours later your sat by the sea. Awesome.

The road from Bibao (and the Googgenheim) all the way along the a8, absolutely awesome views of mountains and sea. Barely a straight bit on it too.

Being fair,  a bed of nails would have fealt comfy after the Corsa. But its just so easy to drive an omega. If only I could have taken it with me

Given the choice of pushing the car there and back or flying Ryanair, I would push the car every time, even with the handbrake on

As you can see we've saved the best of the weather for your return

Not for £84 return Stanstead to Santander for two people you couldn't. That's the problem, they're too cheap. Being fair, they aren't as bad as they used to be.

I managed to put 6933 miles on my hire car whilst away....

[feeutfo]

Might have managed 693

Where d ya go...?


Mind you, you had a bit more time than I did.

[05omegav6]

The service or lack of is the least of the reasons that I won't fly with them ...ever

[Marks DTM Calib]

As many know, I would rather cut my own leg off then rely on Ryan Air for anything more than a 1-2 day business trip with hand luggage only!

I know the northern road well, we put the wave power buoy at Santona between Santander and Bilbao.

But I find Spain a frustratingly slow and infuriating place to do work! 

[feeutfo]

Yeah see, you'll not get far in Spain with that attitude Mark.
