Where Have You Been In Your Van Today?

In Tarifa 2nd day.
Great weather, nice cycling looking forward to some off road tomorrow.

Even a strange boat for @richi parked up......View attachment 40416View attachment 40417View attachment 40418View attachment 40422 View attachment 40419


It's not strange,I have got one :D

Epic racing ski,they are brilliant in relatively small surf and lightning on the water

There is a School in Tarifa that teaches downwind racing and surfing with them,hence it being one of my Summer stops :thumbsup: I'm going to tell them I am a newbie:laugh:

That one is a V7 ( I think they are plastic) mine is a V8 performance layup in composite:thumbsup:

I had a feeling you would know the ski.

I used to windsurf here a long time ago. All kite surfers, SUP and surf skis now.

So layed back and chilled ( Tarifa No Work Team).:thumbsup:
 
How bizarre. That’s where I am today and tomorrow. Already in the car park setting the boats up. Got my 29er in the back so going to try and get a few laps of the lake in, can’t decide on the 17 mile loop or go for the 24 including the peninsular.
Do the peninsular!

Lovely place, I think the peninsula is the most scenic and quieter, the pub sells a nice pint to. I went in Rutland cycles and almost got another bike !!! Lucky escape.

I really don’t like the peninsular very much, don’t think the tracks are quite as good.
Been round the normal loop clockwise this morning in 70minutes, the wind is quite brutal. Just about to leave and do the same again only anti-clockwise; don’t want to go getting dizzy by keep rotating the same way. ;)
 
Good effort @DaveyB , I preferred it because the tracks weren't as good :rofl: and a bit more challenging than the flat, youll sleep well tonight.

Sleep; that’s for sure. 2 miles from end flat back tyre :mad:.
Pumped it up, managed to nurse it back to within 200yards.
 
Did you camp on the site in the centre island bit? Been thinking of heading there for a weekend of camping and biking around the lake
No we stayed in a hotel looking over the lake :rofl:, I was scoping the area for camping though and a couple of nice sites at Lyndon, one of them had great views of the water but no facilities, another one was a caravan and camping site on the same lane that looked good.

Lyndon Top is currently under threat of closure from Rutland County Council :-(

I've been looking at this one, the pub close by is lovely too from previous experience!
