Haro to Ap68 directions
The last time we left Haro campsite , we found it difficult getting back to the AP68 heading towards Bilbao. We have a 12' length (car and caravan) and found the signposting poor. Can anyone give me the directions from leaving the site? I did have a map but we obviously took a wrong turn and want to avoid it again this year.
Thank you

Hi HT, As BB says Google maps is very useful and Streetview is my default go to when looking at access to new sites.
It does sometimes catch you out when the routes in and out differ and put paid to just retracing your steps but not sure if that's the case here but a quick route, to an from the site, will help.
One good thing with Google maps, which I used last week, is that you can send the route to your mobile meaning that you have it to hand, or you could of course print it off.

A big drawback of Google maps routing for me is it takes no account of the outfit and can produce routes which are "no go" for larger vehicles. It is fine for a quick assessments of distances and checking with street view but I would not rely on it to give me a safe route.or accurate journey times.

Hi Peedee, Whilst what you say is correct re routes the use of Streetview is what will help avoid 'approach issues' so not sure what you mean by safe or accurate?
Like BB we also use via Michelin and there can be some small discrepancies, but I would bet that many people have sat navs that they use where the mapping is way out of date compared to Google maps/viaMichelin.
I get the impression that most of use sat nav as an aid to navigation, as opposed to blindly following it, and my first ever Tom Tom only had major roads, in Europe, on it so that helped!

Absolutely right Peedee. My first mistake was to only download the directions to the site and not 'from' hence my post, trying to 'get it right this year !
We tried to go back the way we came but took a wrong turning at the roundabouts and ended up on minor roads with no passing places, hence my question. I do use Google maps regularly but it can be deceptive and as you so rightly say, doesn't take into account vehicle length.
