Sorry not replying sooner but i am up very early and home very late, cook a meal and sleep and so the cycle begins again. I am back in the UK and have got myself a job for the winter, not as good as the one at Martin's place but the pay is a whole lot better
).
Thanks Martin i think that will be a summer experience i shall never forget, but i was only to pleased to help.
anyhow end of the mutual appreciation to answer some of the questions, my intention is to get into east Europe as fast as we can, saying that i can ride fast or slow and once a group is formed we shall ride a pace that suites all, it's not a do or die effort it's a holiday.
Depending on the size of the group will depend on where we overnight, the smaller villages and towns may not have the bed space so we would have to head for cities, but all this can be ironed out nearer the time. The route i posted is only a suggestion, not set in stone. If you wish to ride alone then i would give you the co-ordinates of where we will be at night .
As to when i come back at this moment in time i don't have a clue, plenty of options but just not sure yet.
I will be leaving the UK via the chunnel and stop overnight in probably Belgium so that those from the north can come in via Holland and meet up.
All in all i am flexible on all points just want to be available for those who are a little nervous on a trip like this or who prefer to travel with others.
I am not a tour guide, i don't speak the languages, but i have traveled a bit and don't panic easily.I can sleep under the stars or in a 5 star hotel, but i got to have coffee else i am a grumpy sod .
