En-route to Valencia

23-10-2006, 10:25 AM

Afternoon all,

Is any1 going to Valencia to watch the MotoGP final round, or have ever driven/riden that direction? If so do you have any recomendations for good routes in terms of good scenery and toll freeness?

Cheers in advance!!

Get yourselves out there. We only decided on Saturday night after several beers. Overal we recon its gonna cost about Â£170 each between 4 of us. Thats bugger all for a weekend away.

Tickets Â£160 for 4
Ferry Â£64 return (Dover to Dunkirk)
Tolls Â£130 ish (thats the bit i'm unsure on)
Fuel Â£250
RAC cover Â£25
Camping Â£50ish
Tins of beans and a couple of crates Â£30

And you'll only have to take Monday off work!!

Get yourselves a Look. You know Yous Want to!!

Guess is a bit late!!!

dont know France but once you cross the "Pirineo" avoid the A7, and go through:
Andorra, C17 to Barcelona (a bit dangerous)
Barcelona NII to Tarragona
Tarragona to Valencia throught NII
enjoy

Nah its not too late, cheers for the advice.

We're not leaving till friday. 5pm. We're gonna 'try' to do it in 1 stint. All 19.5 hours (1200 miles). Its between 4 of us driving so it shouldnt be too hard.

The only thing left is to sort out a hotel/hostel/campsite for Saturday night. I've searched for the past 3 days. Every single one is full. Looks like we'll be campin on the side of the road

Just rang RAC for international cover. They say they will supply a driver if your driver becomes ill. We're considering faking an illness and just getting lashed up for the whole journey whilst Jeevesey drives!

Thanks again for the advice
