Tenere plus others on the TET
 

https://youtu.be/r3_Ls1NKaVk This looks brilliant. ...I want to do this one day! Steve

The TET / Portugal comes through my back yard as does a similar route of off-road, north to south. A lot of guys do the Trans and when they get south do a return route on, what is called, Portugal's Route 66, which is a highway, called the N2, which also runs up the entire country.

A little local jaunt out for guys from the U.K. Steve...

It's a big open country with 1000's of tracks, trails and water crossings and right-to-roam, like Scotland. It's just so blumming hot off-roading, unlike Scotland.

I'm sure the links have downloadable gpx files so you can fill your sat nav with all the way points. I have found that my TomTom rider will accept the gpx files but it doesn't have a background map for off roading so I use my old trusty Garmin Csx60. Also Wikiloc is an awesome OS style mapping app.

Also....I wanna drone. The footage is ace!

wow,albania looks amazing. beautiful scenery

Thanks for the info about the TET in Portugal. ...it won't be this year but I'm going to start scheming.....! Steve

Steve, if you really want to, I'd suggest looking at Google weather to choose a month that might be 'comfortable' in terms of heat. Those cooler months could still be very pleasant but with the bonus of even less people knocking about and cheaper ferries (with a guaranteed cabin) . Mid June to early Sept can be 30+ C. Also, and only if you want to, PM me and we could meet up or you could even stop over a night at Chez BBQ+beer.

Cheers, I'll take you up on that hopefully! ....when do you think would be a good time of year ...? Steve

It's difficult to say....Mid year it is hot and dry as hell..All other months are so variable with reasonable warmth as a base line but varying degrees of wetness, especially when you consider region by region / north to south. Northern and central being wetter.
