Well arrived at Vitoria Gastiez safely ...just! Following a lorry about 40 to 50 km away from destination on a busy motorway the lorry in front of us threw his tyre into our path hitting the motorhome but a foot or two more to the left we shudder to think of the outcome.. the lorry to our left thankfully realised the situation so moved like the devil out of the way .. there was a steep bank to our right and no hard shoulder at this point now relaxing thinking how lucky we were x

Glad you're all ok guys. Scary or what. Trust there's no damage to the van. Hope you enjoyed Caravan Salon Dusseldorf.

Bienvenido a Espańa.
Welcome to Spain, you have had a bad experience but relax now, you are here during a the months of early autumn, a great time to be here.
We will be in the north in a few weeks, currently west of Madrid in the Grados mountains.

Thank you all for your replies it was a very scary moment luckily no serious damage to the van just black rubber scuff marks where the tyre hit...John believes it will clean off but it could have been so different
