And I'm Off.. I Really Am This Time

  1. That’s tricky as I don’t know how far you can go each day on your Scrambler. Just make it up as you go along, using hotels.com or bookings.com. Hotel le France in Aubusson is nice but there are probably cheaper alternatives.
    Use the old N9 (D809) between Milau and St Flour instead of the motorway and go see the viaduct at Garabit. Designed and built by Monsieur Eiffel. The roads through the Cantal from St Flour to Gueret pretty good.

  3. Eating Mc Ds in the UK - maybe. Eating it in Spain or the south of France - fcuk no. Have a french Pan bagnat if you want something quick, or steak hash avec frite at your nearest Casino supermarket. Better still find some moules mariniere!

  4. I set off at 10am and have covered about 80 miles... took the n123 and then the n230... absolutely breath taking...
    So hard to focus on the road.. the roads are amazing...
    I was slowed quiet a bit at one point as I had a sudden bit of vertigo or something and It got so windy I was sure I was going to crash!!!
    All good now though 20190513_105237.jpg 20190513_105258.jpg 20190513_110135.jpg

  10. Did you pour that San Miguel? It’s all froth! You can get sent to prison for that. Crimes against beer...
    Or is it a coffee?
     
  11. Roads and weather looking great :upyeah:

    As to McDonalds... FFS, I'm with Jez900ie on that one, get something more in keeping with where you are, even if it's just a croque monsieur.
