Spain Trip

[V8 Animal]

Not a major problem more of a challenge.
Going to Spain in the beast next Tuesday so tried and failed to set the sat Nav.
Derby-Portsmouth FERRY Santander-Manilva Spain
Can't get the Nav or google maps to take me over the water in a ferry from Portsmouth it defaults to Calais then over France to Santander!
Any help on this I know I can drive to Portsmouth then set the Nav for Spain but I want to do it the correct way.
Cheers

If you select walking/pedestrian, it allows you to choose the Portsmouth/Santander ferry (657 miles, 23:20hrs). No idea why it doesn't give you this option with driving (other than being much quicker: 14:30hrs to drive).

Thanks mate maybe there's a option for swimming
Aston nav?

What takes you to Manilva? We have an apartment at Casares del Sol near Finca Cortesin on the road to Casares. Lovely spot on the Costa del Sol - not over developed. Would love to get round to doing the trip in the DBS one day. Another rental car this summer

Got family there.

Paul, the vast majority of Spaniards I know love Astons...I think you know the reaction you will get

So far I have to agree a lot of drivers seem to hang onto my rear for way too long.
Service stations are interesting visits too.
Estepona tomorrow need to get it clean for the port photo.

You should do the Puerto Banus cruise while you're there.

Monday night were having a photo shoot at Pueto de la Duquesa. Less populated

Had a great drive to Rhonda and back.

Off to Gibralter today but decided to leave my car in the garage and get a lift.
There's not much respect for cars in Spain.

BTW you needs new camera

Better camera in the boot iPhone for ease.
This will scare you,

Just completed 400 miles in 6 hours on my return to UK in temps of 32c car never missed a beat.
Bloody flies are going to take some shifting lol
250 miles to the port tomorrow, then 180 miles from Portsmouth should be home at midnight Sunday.
Well worth the trip but had to be selective as to where I went and park it.

Just boarded this,

Back safely and 1800 miles on the beast.
