All the stuff i am taking on a two month trip, including bags, the clothes i am wearing, excluding my phone and an actual book which i plan to send home though. Hope i didn't miss something, but i think i should be good. Leaving my chair at home this time.
Checked in my bubble wrapped my bike and waiting for my plane to southern spain.
Damn that’s a dream route right there, including badlands and montañas vacias. I heard it can be chilly at night, but at least in the montañas vacias there are some shelters where you can build a fire!
If the Pyrenees are too cold going through the Basque country might be incredible, too.
Aah, egyptian cotton makes sense. I had a regular cotton one before, always felt like packing a brick.
Have fun, and keep us updated if you can and feel like it — I will be looking forward to it!
It's just a section of badlands, out of granada to the gorafe desert, don't want to do loops. I may do the montañas vacias loop, but only if i like it so much but also get fed up with spain, so not very likely, haha. Because the plan is to go to the basque country after vacias, then pyrenees from there to the mediterranean. That is the route i have, but who knows.
I just read that f.e. tourmalet opens mostly in june, i'll have to see what's up when i get there, it'll take a while :)
Yeah i will post something along the way, good to see you again!
