Hi Oly, I like the idea of these 'tips & pointers' videos, useful to a lot of riders. 👍

Top advice - take your time when on board. The ferry won't leave without you !

That was brilliant. So helpful. Thank you so much. I hope to do my first crossing this year and your video has reassured me no end.

Often the simple things that make the difference to a journey. Thanks for taking the time to make this vid.

A great gathering on the ferry! Olééé!

[GSHants]

And although you’re thinking “please don’t let me drop it..please don’t let me drop it” the buzz you get for finally being on your way for another great trip is a really good feeling😊

Hi Oly thank you first time thinking of riding in Spain aged 64 your top tips are so helpful 👏

[thomasfairburn]

Thanks

Thanks useful information was considering booking the ferry instead of riding down through France.

Same when I used that ferry, loads of bikers on it. Bike well tied down.

[busterrabbit]

I don't think you mentioned leaving the bike in gear on the ferry. Probably not essential on a smooth crossing, the tie downs will hold the bike in place, but the Bay of Biscay can be pretty interesting, so no harm in leaving the bike in gear to help keep it in place.

If its raining the floor will be very slippy....

Thanks Martin, your feedback is appreciated. Oly

[Jungleland]

Thanks for the tips. Hoping to get to Spain, maybe Morocco in '25. Not sure yet if I'll go from Ireland or the UK ( and take in a few days in Cornwall as well).

Nice video and yes very useful! How's about a video of leaving the ferry to make the full set?

[LandRover]

Good pointers. But seriously, your not fooling anyone. That was definitely your shed, not a ferry.

[sionnachog]

How did you manage to see Wales on your way from Plymouth to Santander?

[andersohlsson]

Thanks for the tips. One question, what size of tank bag would you recommend? And what do you use?

[dfrench]

Hi Oly, thanks for this video, I'm using this ferry for the first time in September. Please can I ask, do the bikes unload first?

[JimGDMAC]

Looks like you have an empty top box after removing your bag for the ferry, why not put your helmet in it instead of using a cable to lock it on top of the seat?
