Hi Chris and Welcome.

I have had a look at your site a few times and was going to drop you a note. I am keen to pop over to Spain (North western area) and wondered f you might have an idea as to the Do's and Dont's for off roading in Spain, the best time to visit weather wise, if you can assist in booking ferries if there is a discount to be had and generally provide some in site into Spain.

Regards

Warren

We were thinking of doing something like this at the back end of 2014. Trouble is we are working 7/7 from end of March to end October Almost Nowt in winter, which is when the stupid weather changes and its too cold for camping....unless we head off to southern Portugal on our own twixt October & March......oooh, thats a plan!

Hi Steve,

Thanks for the reply.We have been toying with the idea of running tours in the winter months, but using Hotels and guest houses we will be looking into this over this winter.

Portugal definitely more on the overland radar nowadays.

We are going in September, think there are 4 vehicles, maybe 5.

Braganca is a great start point, we use Cepo Verde as a base, and also used a site further south near Monteignas (which translates as the town of 'Mountains'!)

I worked out last years trip cost me £1,600.00 in full.

The thing we learnt was not to do too much in one day, we aimed for about 80km, but next year we are doing circular routes, maybe 40km a day, and we are going to get up into the Montesinho, and also over to Spain again, had a great day hopping over the border.

We also found a completely deserted hamlet, really really spooky, like Blair Witch style.

It really is greenlane heaven, its put Morocco off the radar for me, I loved the place and (excepting the Republican Guard) the people, although some rural areas were a bit insular.

Nice site Chris, but you need to adjust your prices for the Ironman kit - a simple google search throws up at least 1 UK supplier undercutting you by more than 10% on for fridges. Not having a pop, incidentally - mentioning it because its something I'm currently researching anyway for a build project!

Hi Dave,

Thanks for the reply all the prices for Ironman kit in the UK is current on the lastest stock.Just double check the current price if it's correct grab yourself a saving.
