Terry said going mid to late May in previous posting

Sounds good, so key question is who's up for this if departing 24th March?

If I'm on the Burger and flying back, what would be the plan for those riding back, what would be return ferry date?

As said before, I can't do this before 11th April but after 10th May I'm free to do any time in Spain (even if jet laged) so long as I have enough notice to pick up the other half up from any airport in the area to spend some time in Marbella.
Even if I can't make it, I have a mate in Santalina Del Mar about 45 minutes west from Santendar who rents out apartments attached to his farmhouse. Or will be more than willing to let you camp in his front garden.
The best boat to travel on this route is the Pont Avant, it's one of the latest boat in the fleet and is better stabilised than most, just a thought.

Sorry Terry I misunderstood your earlier post and thought you could make this if we completed before 11th Apr.

No problem darling, probably my fault. We booked the USA holiday some months ago and paid up front. so a bit reluctant to take a chance on a trip like this to spain before we go, and the chance of a problem is worrying.
If you can make it after the 10th of may I'm free for the rest of the year so can hang around to help out.

Do we need two cabins?

Who's going - Pikey, Lyn, TScoot (in Spain), Jaz, Dave, Terry, Poldark (one-way)……..........

My plans are still up in the air but idea would be to meet Muppets somewhere in Spain/Portugal.
Current rough plan is drive out with car + trailer bikes early spring, returning June with/without trailer/bikes
I have to fly back to UK mid April then back to Spain that's ~ 5 days UK

So don't worry about my plans, work out whats best for the group and I'll fit mine around the groups

Well done Jules - this does sound right up your street...

I've been wanting to go on long ferry with scooter since Dave the scoot days and wife paying ferry cost for my 60th so why not YOLO


When I found out off campervan FB page was a Morrisons in Gibraltar that sealed the deal .
