Күн бұрынThe Spanish trans euro trail, or TET and french TET are some of the best riding in Europe. This is a film about our adventure down through France and through the spanish TET, heading over the pyrenees and towards the Tabernas desert. The big question is, will we find adventure??

Now that was a proper adventure trip. From freezing in your tents to getting hammered in Bordeaux(?) to forming a world class string band in the south of Spain. You did it yourselves, no camera crew and chase trucks. You learned the true meaning of adventure. Thanks. It feels like I was along for the ride.

Great trip and video! Just to let you know for the next one to Spain, check it out the local laws about camping in the wild and specially setting up a fire, because we've got quite a few wild fires recently and the laws are really strict about it, because the risk it takes, and if a guard catches you there with a fire you'll definitely get in BIG trouble and the penalties are huge!

Tabernas , thats my off the grid bolt hole, my brother has built a "rock house", hidden into the hillside. Up the rambla outside Tabernas. we ride our bikes up there, Hondas, Dauville, GLX ,NC750x, BM F650gs, his next trip will be from UK on a honda 110cc ex japanese postie bike. My next trip will be on a 1600 triumph, so may be a bit of struggle up the track, we are 68 and 70.

Interesting comments ridden much of Northern Spain as well as most bits of Europe mainly solo and have learnt myself that as much as I love being out in the sticks riding trails and wild camping etc I also enjoy being in a small village here and there and being around people even if its just sitting and watching people over a le cafe. As a soloist i just mix it up as best I can as the mood takes me. Some like to create a challenge and agenda and need to do the best they can to accomplish it, others prefer to remain flexible and change to suit the mood, circumstances or feel for enjoyment at the time. dont they have wind turbines in Lincolnshire?

Hey Bikenav, yep, we learned a lot on that trip. Predominantly, how we tackle future adventures. The towns and villages became our favourite places to hang out 🤷🏻♂️. The wind turbines in France are sooo much bigger (or at least it seems 😅). Thanks man 👊🏻😎
