Makes me wish I had a pre A. Sounds like a fabulous trip. A lovely part of the world.

Have a great time, and take plenty of pics and give us a full report!

Are you driving the whole way?! And back?

Regards
Mike

Of course!
Is there any other way to get there (and back)?

Sounds like a great trip, in search for a pre A .
Cheers Dave

[Hendrik Moulds]

Am setting off tomorrow for this after a last minute change to my ferry booking.
The Portsmouth-Santander ferry I was to catch tomorrow has been cancelled (damn you spanish people and your strikes), so now I'm going Portsmouth-St Malo and driving down!
Hopefully I'll make it.

Bon voyage Hendrik! Have a great trip and don't forget your camera! A short daily blog would be nice?

Regards
Mike

[Hendrik Moulds]

Will give it a go. Haven't posted from my mobile before.
What's the best way of posting photos from my iPhone?

get the photobucket app , easy to do then. You'll need wifi though

I use tapatalk to link to DDK when using the iPhone but no doubt you will have plenty to think about without setting that up.

Even a daily written blog of your journey/route would be nice just to get a 'feel' for how you are getting on, weather, how the car is running, how much wine you have drunk etc

You know how we all love a continental trip! Pics would be a bonus.

Regards
Mike

Hear, hear. Time to step up to the plate, Hendrik. Looking forward to the reports.

[Hendrik Moulds]

Ok, I'll step up to the plate.
Not sure how many photos I will post, but will get the photobucket app and see how it works.
Will have some photos for you when I get back.

Tapatalk for the forum. Photobucket app for the photo uploads, then as usual copy and paste the code

Look forward to hearing how Spain is . Which part are you heading to ?

Photobucket is a pain without wifi
Use Tapatalk, use the image icon and then select Tapatalk hosted, select pic quality/size and it hen uploads the shot and pastes the image code into your post

Look forward to seeing pics and hearing all about the trip

[mycar]

Yep, I used Tapatalk when I was reporting from Silverstone Classic and you`ll remeber how brilliant that was.

Looking forward to it Hendrik.
