Following the popularity and success of last year’s Off-Road Tour to The Pyrenees, Simon Pavey and his World of BMW Off-Road Skills team have planned two more incredible trips to the stunning mountain range in 2007. Those who have already completed a Level One BMW Off-Road Skills course can embrace this superb opportunity by riding their own motorcycle from the BMW GS range or other similar large trail bikes.
Motorcyclists will have the chance to experience some incredible routes devised by two-times Dakar Rally course organiser David Castera. Off-roaders will also have the privilege of being led by the highly experienced UK Dakar Rally coordinator Chris Evans, who has taken off-road tours to France for over 17 years.
Both seven day tours, taking in some of the most spectacular off-road trails in Europe, will give riding enthusiasts the chance to put their off-road skills to the ultimate test on the two dates scheduled: 2 – 8 May and 17 – 23 October.
Those taking part in the tour will begin by meeting the group at Plymouth for an overnight ferry crossing to Santander. After disembarking in Spain, riders will experience the twisty roads near Santander, before spending the night at the beautiful and historic Santo Domingo. The following day, will see a short run on the auto route before enjoying breathtaking views riding off-road riding in the Bardenas desert.
The next day the group will then head to France, bypassing the ski station of Iraty. This part of the journey will include a mixture of on and off-road riding where participants will stay in the Pays Basque region. The tour will then return to Spain for a variety of piste and mountain road riding along the coastline to the overnight stop at Gernika. The trip will conclude with a ride back to Santander where the group will catch the overnight return ferry to Plymouth.
The price is £1,000 per person which includes a back up vehicle, return overnight ferry crossing from Plymouth to Santander, two nights half-board accommodation and one night B&B in Spain and half-board accommodation in France. Accommodation is shared for the duration of the tour. Interested customers are advised to book early to avoid disappointment.
