#wildcamping #spain
After a sluggish 33 hour ferry trip from Portsmouth to Santander, Spain. It’s out of the city into the hills we go!! I spend the first day traversing the rutted tracks of the Cantabrian hills with some awesome descents before finding camp for the night.
Perfect start to this epic adventure!!

Yes North of Spain can be a bitch this time of year.
You're ex SAS really, those hills are just a walk in the park for you, you only pretend to be out of breath, you can't fool me, lovely vid, about to view part 2 👍
Wow, Hello my friend.. All the best to your channel and hope you have a wonderful day
The solitude, the elements, the rawness of it all. Makes me want to start my next tour right now!
Glad I found your set of videos I'm doing these routes in late June. Going to watch them all as I need to see how steep the Basque hills are. It looks amazing
I've had this area on my 'must check out one day' list for too many years. It looks great. Green hills and empty roads – just what I like.
This looks great even with the climbs and the wind. I've always fancied checking out this part of the world but it never happened so I'm watching these ones with interest.
Very much enjoyed your video. It's a sparsely populated region of Spain. I would love to ride west from Santander into the Picos mountains, but the high price of the BF crossing from Portsmouth is a barrier for me. Low season it is just too cold and risk of snow. I don't do cold. Summer the cost of the ferry is very £££££. Still looks to be a beautiful area. The Basque country definitely is as have been there a few times in years gone by.
Was your bike's gearing low enough to get up those steep slopes?
How did you find wild camping as I've heard the police are really strict on it. Saw another video , they were actually searching for culprits with a drone.
Nice one, I love the greenery and lush hillsides of Northern Spain and Basque Country. I am hoping to see a lot more of it next year and this has whetted the appetite
