I had a similar problem getting from Santiago to Santander for the ferry with my push bike in 2020, ending up getting a one way hire,
Lady in the car rental near to the train station was really helpful,
once you get to Santiago you could do that,
on the way there looks like two lots of car...
I'm sure you'll get there,,
Good to see you are still keeping the cycling adventures going.
I managed on the last boat of the year from Santander to Plymouth,back in October /November 2020,can't remember the date,(doesn't help you),,
I took the ferry from Hull to Zeebrugge in the July.
glad...
Hi Stewart,
I cycled all the way to Santiago,and Muxia,
didn't get to Portugal,Covid!
I only started collecting stamps from Vezelay,
I noticed Camino shells from Belgium.
Buen Camino.
Hi,
5'c is cold whether walking or cycling any Camino
I've had snow and hail,
Stopped for the day ,and night in October 2020,at Foncebadón .
I had only cycled from Rabanal del Camino.
However a white out while cycling is no fun!
Had planned to cycle to Ponferrada.
Buen Camino.
Looking forward to Sagres and Superbok and white port!
In 2019, I walked from Azumbuja to Tui,via the coast from Porto,
This time thinking about starting my cahmino from the Airport at Porto,
And then Muxia.

Hi Marie,
I have now done it both ways, and both are great, first time I went to Finisterre first, and last May after walking the Primotivo I finished in Finisterre.
Like Raggy says that' a steep hill coming into Cee, but so good to finally see the sea at Cee !
Enjoy Bill.
Sounds like a plan,when I did the same Camino,I had six weeks between my flights,worked out quite well.
I had never heard of Muxia until half along,being told it was the furthest West.
Been twice,worth the walk.
Ok thanks Raggy, looks like I'm going to have to rejig my panniers etc, though I'm not sure what I'd be cooking, cheese and ham baguette or bocadillo for lunch,
Any suggestions for easy to cook meals on a single stove, and pot.

Decathlon have some pretty good bikes, that was an option of mine at one point, either buying a decathlon bike here, and cycling down happy in the knowledge that there would be plenty of decathlon shops to service or repair anything. Or buying one in Decathlon Lisbon, or Malaga, but I managed to...
Hi John,
Update I booked from Hull to Rotterdam, sailing on the 20th July, I noticed P&O weren't taking bookings on the Dover to Calais route, but my booking went through, start cycling on the 16th July,
Lots of loose ends to sort , then I'm off !

Thanks Desgovernos (mismanagement ?),
I hadn't realised , it was so along ago since my original post, the joys of lock down, I am about to start 3 and a half mounts later, I am now cycling via the Netherlands, ferry from Hull,
Belgium, France and then Spain, and hopefully by then Portugal's...
Thanks John,
I was looking at Hull to Zeebrugge last night for July sailings , and it seemed to be letting me go with my bicycle I was going to go back on today and check their policy re changing dates,
Would be looking at changing it by a day or two if I got to Hull too early!
