Wise words indeed Paul, from someone who has obviously done this before.
Unfortunately, the lad has already made his plans about it being a trip of discovery, edging into the Alps and doing a circular tour to visit his father who lives somewhere up above Montpelier.
The total trip is for 10 days, so no great rush.
The last time I did a trip down into Spain, was in 1976 on a Kawasaki KZ400 twin, with my now wife. I had a tent on the carrier and said Craven panniers. My suit was good old Belstaff.
