Thanks Wessie. I'm down in Northern spain doing the 6 day Ride Magazine Tour, then back up through France to Caen to Portsmouth next Thursday night. Took yours (and Simon Weirs advice) about Ferry from Portsmouth to Bilbao down.
Ferry was Ace, much nicer than the suicide ally of M25/M20 and hassle cueing at tunnel.
You are right about Northern Spain, brilliant so far, praying no thunderstorms though!!
I will keep my eye on the site through the link you posted.
Thank you.

Glad you are having a good time. You should be okay as the strike is just 1 day. The other changes on that website seem to be schedule changes, either new times or a change of ship.

I'm back in Sept/Oct, via the Plymouth to Santander ferry. Going further from the coast to a bit of Spain not visited before in Asturias, Castile y Leon, Extramadura and Madrid (rural) District. I've booked some Parador hotels but bookings are flexible if I need to chase better weather elsewhere.

I was looking at SW's book yesterday as he has a circuit centred on Avila, where I will base myself for 3 nights. His route does tend to stick to routes suitable for all travellers and avoids the narrower passes I seek out. I've found some nice passes to explore in the Gredos mountains west of Madrid.
