SP26 - Will Trump's War affect travel?

It certainly looks that way. Fuel prices have started to come down a little. Locally diesel has dropped around 6p a litre but is still ridiculously high.

In Europe, from the apps I have on my phone, prices are higher than here except in Spain. As long as the government are still keeping the tax cut, then it's way cheaper.  Currently the fuel price apps are showing €1.66 a litre near where we are spending our first few nights.... That's currently £1.44.

I have had a look at the maps and am still thinking about where to go after San Vicente. This time I am thinking of spending more time in each place we go to. Instead of one night, depending on where we end up, two or longer.  I am looking at some familiar places on the Mediterranean coast for longer stops, whether aires or campsites.

San Vicente de la Barquera

I have booked an appointment for Reggie's rabies jab at a vet in San Vicente and apart from the opening few days campsite, nothing is booked.

More to follow as the departure date gets closer.....

Roadtest - Suzuki VZ800 Marauder

This road-test was originally published in 1997 on the original SOC Geocities hosted website and transferred over here when Yahoo killed off Geocities. When Suzuki offered to let me have the VZ800 Marauder for a week or two to test, I was very happy to have a 'free' bike for the duration of two big runs to the BMF/ACU National Rally and a Suzuki Owners Club Scotland trip. At the southern entrance to Glen Coe  The only factory custom bike I have ever ridden before was an early Yamaha XS400 back in the early Eighties. It had not endeared me to custom bikes! After a trip to the FIM Rally in the Czech Republic in 1995 with a riding partner on a Suzuki Savage, I had begun to think that although not actually my cup of tea, with real perseverance, these bikes could be more than 'canteen cowboy' outfits. Near Loch Ness So it was with a bit of trepidation that I picked the bike up from Ken Fulton, the SOC's magazine Editor (at the time), who had in turn ...

Roadtest - Suzuki TU250X

(Originally written and published on the old Geocities hosted SOC website in 1997)   With the UK Government thinking of ways to force commuters onto public transport on the one hand, soaking the motorist with the other hand - road tolls, commuting into City tolls, increased in Vehicle Excise Duty on top of another hike in petrol tax, the motorcycle couldn't be better placed to provide personal transport when you want it, in a more 'environmentally friendly' way. So when I was offered the latest addition to the Suzuki commuter range, the TU250X, I was actually quite looking forward to trying a bike that might fit the bill for the beleaguered commuter of the future. During my trips to Spain this Spring, I saw quite a few TU's on the streets in Murcia. Although not as popular as the Yamaha SR250, there were significantly more than you'd see in any UK town. The Mediterranean weather is far more attractive for people to consider biking. Most of the ci...
