Hi Doodle, hope you are both well and can make the trip.  Perhaps she would like to be a co driver in a classic Jeep! 😉

Calling all in JOC!!!!  Jeeping Heaven!    😀

I am still looking for a passenger/co driver for this fantastic event/holiday that Stinger has put so much effort into. Any one welcome to apply, young or old, male/female, you will have a gr8 time!

I do have some applicants but whether they any will be able to face, sea sickness(free bags supplied), the harsh driving conditions, filthy weather without protection, extreme heat with no aircon, driving narrow paths along 1000m drops , deep snow below freezing etc, staying in cheap flea pits with rock beds, all with lots of vinegar wine,flat beer and  generally living on bread and water remains to be seen .

Why not apply and find out the real joy of  'Jeeping''.

Are you thinking of joining us Jim?

So far @stinger108 has been doing an amazing job of organising everything, it has the makings of a very memorable trip.

Hi Jim,  I'm all booked up too but have not yet found a confirmed co/driver/passenger yet! If you fancy a reduced cost and effort trip you would be welcome!

Just a thought!

@stinger108 Ignacio- just adding to this - I'm booked with most of the same hotels - think it was just 2x that didn't have rooms left.

I'm still holding off the ferry booking as the Jeep is going in Wednesday for an oil leak and depending on where its coming and the cost to fix may/will determine what i do with with it and the trip!

Fingers crossed.  It would be funny, given how close we are to each other if the first time we actually meet is on a ferry to Spain 😂

We have only done the route on the motorway in April from San Sebastian to Santander towing a caravan as Santander was our port of entry and departure.  Beautiful scenery.

 

By the way if you know someone who is a Brittany Club Voyage member you can a discount on the actual fare itself, but not accommodation.  I think it is between 5 & 10%.  You can also take your pooch with you.  If you want a code please let me know and I will see what I can do as I am not a member, but know of someone who is a member and may be willing to give you the code.

thanks @Surfer I already got the ferry tickets, good to know for the next time and maybe others can use your kind offer.

 

agree it is the most beautiful part of the country (and best food too!!); done many times on motorway, never trough the mountains, it promises to be an awesome adventure!

We really wish we could be back in Spain as thought it great.  Everything seemed to be cheaper especially fuel.

yes of course, it is open to everybody. only limitations can be some hotels (but will find an option) and that we will need to split into 2 groups to avoid problems with the authorities 🙀 

 

if you send me your mail I can mail to you all up-to-date info

I’d love to do a trip like this, but I don’t think it’s possible for us this year. Please tell us all about it when you get back.

It would have been amazing to have 2 WJs amongst all wranglers! 🙂
