No worries at all. I picked up a few other bits for moto-camping so I might do similar for them in case they're useful for others.

So I've gone and done it. Booked the boat from Rosslare / Cherbourg on 2 April and return end of May. Balanced it out with Mrs. Itineo by booking the van for four weeks in from Mid July to Mid August. Now trying to find the email I got from the bike storage people in Bilbao to confirm with them that I wasn't dreaming when I said I'd get back to them when I had a firm plan. Happy days.

Thanks for that link, back from 3 weeks in Spain and bike storage was a big worry in the event of breakdown .
Will come in useful for next years trip😀

So I finally got round to driving up to Decathalon and picking up the tent. (None available online for some reason). I haven't put it up yet but it certainly looks and feels sturdy. Yes it's a little heavy but as you say that isn't an issue on the bike. I'll field-test it (!) properly once the weather improves.
Dodged a bullet as I hadn't Mrs Itineo with me at the time - Forgot that IKEA is next door.... :lol:
