Question 1

Do I have to camp?

Accepted Answer

No. Some of our tours use hotel accommodation. On the camping tours, there are often campsites that provide lodges or cabins, of which you are welcome to take advantage. However, any alternative accommodation costs won't be included in the tour and will need to be organised yourself.

Question 2

What camping gear essentials do I need to bring?

Accepted Answer

Tent, sleeping bag, sleeping mat/bed roll, pillow.

Question 3

Will there be food at the campsites?

Accepted Answer

Every campsite we visit will have either an onsite café, bar and/or restaurant, or very close-by, in the local area. Some people enjoy bringing their own food and cooking onsite with their own equipment. Very occasionally, due to unforeseen circumstances, onsite restaurants have been known to close without notice, so it is always a good idea to have emergency supplies with you. We can, of course, stop at a supermarket en route or ride to find a meal!

Question 4

Do I have to ride with a guide?

Accepted Answer

Not at all, you are free to choose. We will provide you with GPX files in GPX1.0, GPX1.1 or GPX1.2 before the trip. You can decide on the day if you want to ride on your own or stay with the guide. You can change your mind at any time.

Question 5

Do I need to bring my own camping gear?

Accepted Answer

You carry your camping gear on your bike. We hire out tent, mattress, sleeping bag and pillows, if you don't have your own. Simply add to basket on the bookings page.

Question 6

Can I stop when I want to?

Accepted Answer

Of course! We will have morning pre-ride briefs, explaining our route and next meeting point. You can stop for any reason and at any time and meet us further down the road. We always wear headsets, if you break down or need assistance, just call.

Question 7

I don't want to use the ferry from Plymouth, can I go a different way?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely, you're welcome to meet us along the route.

Question 8

Do I need to speak Spanish?

Accepted Answer

Not at all! Natalie and Oly both speak Spanish.

Question 9

How many bikes do you ride with?

Accepted Answer

Generally, 5 bikes to a guide, occasionally 6. The largest group we ever take, even with 2 guides is 8! and that includes the 2 guides!

Question 10

What is the minimum cc bike that I can bring?

Accepted Answer

Any. However all riders are expected to maintain a speed that keeps up with traffic conditions.

But if you can't keep pace with the general group, you can use the  GPX  files we provide allowing you to self-navigate.

The guide/s wear headsets should you need assistance or general support/back-up, just call them!

Question 11

How often do we stop?

Accepted Answer

This can depend on the route and the general group, but we usually try to stop hourly. You will probably find that you see so many beautiful views, you'll stop as frequently as you need.

Question 12

How much riding experience do I need to have?

Accepted Answer

An adequate level of competency for the weight, size and capacity of the motorcycle you are riding is necessary. Often our guests find that they become more confident and develop more expertise throughout the tour and we are on hand, and very willing, to help with any advice. No-one will judge you.

Question 13

Do you have a recommended kit list?

Accepted Answer

We can absolutely provide you with a list on request.

Question 14

What happens if I break down?

Accepted Answer

Oly is an excellent mechanic, but should the very rare occasion happen where he cannot help, we hope that you have taken note of our recommendation of having European breakdown cover, which actually isn't that pricey.

Question 15

Do you go off-road?

Accepted Answer

No, not generally. There are some sections with optional off-road tracks, but there is always a guided, paved alternative.
