Messaged @ginllfixit and @WeeDougie about trip although not sure exact route.
There's the Eurovelo route but gather it's a bit 'around the houses sort of thing

I'm off on the 8th and ferry back around the 18th so will be doing it a rather less leisurely pace although gears will help. I'll probably simply cycle to San Sebastian and train from there to Bilbao and Santander (would like to ride but not enough time).
Have you got route mapped or playing it by ear? May well see you on the road

Trying this for a cheap(er) sleeping mat. Not slept on it yet but folds down small

Thanks @hippy, have a VeloCharger on order and will report back when I've got some kilometres down.

Thanks for the feedback @hippy .
Did you look at the VeloCharger Hub? It's been recommended to me (after my original post) and Spa are selling it for the less than princely sum of £42...

Having a wheel built (cheers @arup) with SP dynamo hub for upcoming tour.
Initially it'll be for charging smartphone (for maps and photos) but ultimately want to add in lights as well. I am looking at BUSCH & MULLER E-werk and USB-Werk devices to enable USB charging but keen to hear of any better alternatives that won't break the bank.
