What's the cheapest way of getting the ferry tickets? I thought RiDE magazine used to have a P&O promotional code but can't find one anywhere. Otherwise a good ferry booking website suggestion would be appreciated.

I could also do with a good recommendation for a guide book to motorbike tours in Europe, if anyone has any ideas?

Cheers!

To be honest, if you book now, im sure that if you book direct, then it shold be fairly cheap. Brittany ferries i think do the Bilbao crossing. Coming back, seafrance at the mo seem to be the cheapest.

Also remember to get you bike serviced before you go, carry a small spares kit (Fuses, bulbs, bits of wire, gaffer tape, insulating tape etc) for any mishaps or get you home measures. Also make sure you have euro breakdown, and insurance, just incase you have over looked this. Also make sure your tyres have enough in them
