Hello All
I’ve been an active (Northants) branch member for a number of years now and next year four middle aged men on four bikes were thinking of a trip to Spain and or Portugal.
I just wanted to reach out to the HOC community for suggestions on routes, places to visit and any HOC expats with paid for accommodation anywhere in the two countries.
Kind Regards, Kevin Banks kevinbanks007@gmail.com
