Cruise the bay on the Pride of Bilbao

One of the highlights of previous years is the slow relaxing cruise from Portsmouth to Bilbao. The ferry is spacious and during Easter only about two thirds full so not many screaming kids to effect pre competition stress levels. During 1999 Keith intended to try some soaring over the side of the ship (mid voyage), I think the bar took his attention and it did not happen so we will be lobbying him very hard to try it this time.

As I mentioned before it is also very simple to travel by air, Madrid airport is but a taxi ride from the hill as proved by Richard in 1999!
