Interesting that Bellingham and Kane have been left out, when they were both in with a chance of winning the Golden Boot.

Saka might win it in just one match

Yup, best they've played in ages, except that 20 mins when the argies were on a roll.

We've even got a bonus point!

He's got the best colour Gold Star too!

...and all the bikers we spoke to had been to the Picos. The Pyrenees is sooo last decade!

The ferry is pretty chill.

You're a captive audience so the prices aren't cheap. 6E for a pint, etc... but they don't give a damn if you take your own food or booze.

We bought two bottles of tinto in Somo and sat and drank them in the bar while eating our supermarket bought crisps. Our Team (just ...

Home.

It only took 7.5 hours due to the M5 being a total shite.

Total milage just under 1,700 miles... tho 600 of that was just getting to Plymouth and back.

I'd go infinity and exist everywhere all at once.

Might need a turbo or some nitrous tho'

Boats about to dock in Plymouth, then it's a 300 mile ride back to Barnsley!

I'm all set, best seats in the house!

Interesting gas meter locations...

Somo is great. The beach is huge. The wife had a dip in the sea, so that's the med and the Atlantic in one trip.

The roads started to get interesting again as we headed north west.

At one point we passed though a little Alpine looking village in a valley and the bike temp dropped to 24c!

The wife ...

It's flipping warm. It's still 38c here.

Just booked a hotel in Somo for tomorrow night, it's closer to Santander than I wanted, but the beach looks nice.

Don't be silly.

Everyone knows it's a large brandy first!

I'm in Olite. It's nice.

Massive castle looks like it should be in Austria rather than Spain, little alleyways between stone built houses, etc...

The hotel is really nice, I think leaving it late on booking.com means we've got the only room they had left... A massive suite, not bad for £81.

I guess the docking station is pretty securely mounted and the mower is no use without it.

It's only us brits who are spiteful enough to steal something just because we can

A few days back I found myself going around a roundabout in the Spanish town of Olot.

I could see a little robot mower docked to its station. It was painted to look like a ladybird.

What a neat idea I thought, no closing lanes to ensure the safety of humans getting on and mowing the roundabout ...

I do like the paint job on Yamahas smallest R bike.

Lleida is a bit of a shot hole so far. Looks posh with it's castle on the hill, but the old town is full of African gentlemen sitting around making the place look untidy.

There are four Michelin stared restaurants, so there must be a nice bit somewhere.

Gemini has suggested Olite as a nice place ...

Threw a proverbial dart at a map and ended up in the city of Lleida. Dunno if there's much here yet, but the hotel is amazing, very modern, but built into an old monastery.

Cheap too.

Now I'm off to find some beer
