thanks for the advice, you have changed my perspective on the trip in a positive way. My plan of action so far is..
1. Buy the michelin maps and explore a little.
2. Buy a camera
2. Buy a long life battery for my GPS
3. Buy a waterproof bag and work out how to tie my car gps to my handlebars
4. Choose a start point of Hook of Holland or Calais.
5. Pick out a few sights I want to see and have some extras for back up.
5. Book my first hotel in advance and leave the rest to book as I go.
6. Go where I want, when I want and just ride, relax, and chill. No rush, no pressure, and little planning.
And my last questions if anyone know the anwers !

Is their anything I should take with me for a weeks travel? An yes I am taking spare pants lol
e.g. money, visa card , petrol can (i have a very safe 100 mile range). I heard lots of petrol stations are unmanned and dont take credit cards !!!
What breakdown service do you recommend?
Do I need to take hi viz and spare bulbs, triangle?
Do I need to alter my bulb and how?
thank you
