Cantabria

Post by BokitoJos »



Cantabria, among others, Novales.
Where we drove on 8 km of the Minas ruta, a never ending technical track.

Also different most perfect GREEN lanes as you find in every bucket list of Northern Spain.

Lucky days because all found with just some OSM drawing.

Dummy day, stuck in a clay pit. FIXED so that sucks. Think well made by such a forest tractorrrr.
Never forget folding saw, we had a lever to fight the clay suction. Fortunately, took 6mtr ribbon.

Day 2 in reverse +added piece of extra track .

Mine tunnel spotted by chance, entrance completely collapsed.
Narrow road with cows, no chance, motorcycle off and walk for the ladies.
Again very green ride.
Today it is hot.
Other days all 21c.

Secret beach found. Upcoming tide.

Always Picos Europe close.
Located 2x40km gravel legally in the Picos park. Not yet done.

Old monastery on a Monte.
Another very old church isolated and strategic.
Very old situations are usually strategically we know in the meantime.

Everything without a wrong look.
Even the cows and horses seem unaware of anything.

Sunday morning locals compete partridge hunting on the cliff.

That looks great, I don't really know that part of Spain but looks well worth a visit.

How are you finding the 2 stroke Betas for these type of exploring trips ? Must be great when the going gets sticky :)

Started riding under 18, at 58 now i dont mind what, should be petrol and have more then 20 horses.

Your right hand controls 2t or 4t.
The cranck of the 4t weighs, twice so if you mistake you have half the time to release or grab the clutch.

Drove a Y660 is absolute overkill on hardpack, 4t 250 is safe and fun riding, 300 lifts on an eyeblink and brings you anywhere fuel isnt a problem on the Betas.
