Yes indeed.

Feeling more hopeful now.

Cheers all

For the advice, and support

More n happy to accept donations

Your options;

Ride the whole way.

Ride as far as you can, and then try and fins a taxi driver with a people carrier.

Ask the bus driver nicely.

Slip the bus driver a sly 20 and hope he takes the bair.

Sell/abandon the bike.



There are other options, but they're not legal and I don't endorse them.

My first thought was abandon bike..

How very disloyal.

And its too new to do that.

Will appeal to bus driver.

Looks like reg bus takes bikes..
We will see.

Everything crossed.
Heathen gods invoked.

I've just discovered that the train from Llanes to Santander is a replacement bus, and they can't take bikes.. I have a ferry at 7.30 tonight.. Any clever ideas how to get me and my bike there in time.. Too far to cycle.. Arrgghh

Any airports nearby?

Thanks for the support @Mugshot

Love you too

Turns out it's news to this train controller that the train stops at Llanes..

Train love being tested today..

Chop chop! Time spent typing is time not spent pedalling!

Thanks for the support @Mugshot

Love you too

More seriously I hope you sort it, I'm sure it's very concerning.
I'm sorry I have no practical advice to offer.

 

[mudsticks]

To coin a phrase

"I'm on the train"

It just doesn't go all the way.

Anyhow I'm busy proposing marriage to the train controller right now.

And he's just squared it with the replacement bus to take my bike

Remember when you start to argue with the rail staff & bus driver, to shout loudly & very slowly in English which means they will understand you better.

No, seriously hope it all works out,

Never mind..

Where practical support is lacking.

A low jibe, in a persons time of need is a good substitute

I found Google translate to be some what more useful tbh.

Seriously though, the people here are sooo nice and helpfu.

Wayy above and beyond what's necessary for their probs low paid jobs.

Lots of smiling, mangled attempts at Spanglish, and endless gratitude, have got me thus far.

Superb people.
