Hi,
So we have taken the easier option and gone for a ferry from Santander to Portsmouth. We spent a few more days last week in Guardamal, had some nice food not involving eels and then made our way north of Madrid where we stayed for a night and saw a few snowflakes. We then continued north through Burgos and some spectacular mountain scenery (we took the wrong road!) more quite heavy snow and finally arrived in Santander. The campsites there were either closed or missing so we drove afew miles west and stayed at avery pretty site - Virgen del Mar. We were the only ones. There were some bracing walks and it was within easy reach of the ferry.
Because the drive through France in Winter would not have been great and the costs of sites and moorway tolls as well as the ferry crossing to Dover would have been quite pricey the overnight crossing to Portsmouth seemed like a good idea. And it was.
We are now in a pub car park just north of Wickham with the promise of a pint of Gales to come.
I will do a final post with a few photos at the weekend when we will be back in Manchester.
Thanks to you all for perservering so far and 1 more post to go.
Cheers
J&P
