Trip to Spain in the FL2

Hi everyone,

As some of you may know, I'm currently on a holiday with my FL2 in Northern Spain. After showing Slaneydore the pictures I have taken so far of my trip, he said that I should share them.





These two pictures were taken close to the first hotel I stayed in, just west of Santander.

After two days at the first hotel, I set off toward the second hotel. It was a 70 mile drive, with the first 40 miles on smooth Spanish motorways and the last 30 on a slow and twisty mountain road with amazing scenery.

(Pictures taken in the FL2, courtesy of SWMBO)









I will add more pictures as the holiday progresses. As I still have another 9 days of holiday left!

Thanks guys. Smile

Vesko, I was a little nervous at first, but now I have got used to driving on the right. I find joining the motorway more difficult, but SWMBO tells me when there is a gap, as I find it hard to see. Thumbs Up

I'm currently eating breakfast, soon we are leaving this hotel and travelling 90 miles to reach the next one. I will get SWMBO to take more pictures! Laughing

My adventure wont be nearly as good as yours Vesko. Bow down

Spotted this FL2 yesterday; Wink



It was a Stornoway Grey SE TD4. Needs a few mods though IMO. Wink

Laughing I've arrived at the next hotel. It took 4 hours to travel 100 miles as the first 50 miles were mountain roads. There were some amazing views and SWMBO took a lot of photos, I will upload them later. Thumbs Up

Day 3

The beginning of the journey South to Leon was on smooth fast roads, winding through the mountains.





But after 10 miles, I found a gravel track to have a play on. Razz



After a quick play I returned to the tarmac and carried on with the journey.

More to come when I have uploaded all of the pictures. Wink

Didn't think it would take long before the off roading photos appeared - but just enough to keep the freely clean Laughing BETTER looking half of the famous Twinlanders
