Unsure what my plans are for next year now but I do hope to do the North part of the UK TET in the next few weeks, I had hoped to do it this weekend but have been a bit too ill to be tackling it.
Oh, pics are on the Facebook page if you use Facebook courtesy of @Skygod.

couple of questions if I may...
how many bikes?
how many days?
how many miles in total?
did you do the whole of the French route?
how many hours per day riding?
2 bikes (950 and 1190 adv's)
11 including getting back.
Think just under 3k on my GPS odo.
Down to the fork then across to Italy.
We didn't have a set amount hours per day, if that's your thing then you'll struggle due to where the trail goes and how long to the next town/civilisation. Also let's just say we weren't playing games, we had limited time to do the route and once we got to the fork we were determined to complete it.
Something to be aware of, once in south France the miles take much longer to complete.

A lot of info is public on the Facebook TET page. I don't usually use Facebook but I'm on there for now.

mick why dont we give part of it a try ,start where we want and take the bikes over in the van . six days riding and see where we get to, either run a van in support or travel light .just need a few of us and we are ready to go . some of the route is lanes and easy trails about four or five should make it work cost wise . half a day in the van each and just move along
