Four years planning, and it appears you've learned that posting anything specific will tend to get it shot down! So...I hope your schedule (70 days) and budget (30 GBP, doubled to include frivolity) have evolved during the interim.
What's missing here is your stated intent to visit "every single country" in Europe. I understand there are ~44 of these, and it appears you're missing quite a few (Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Malta, Iceland, San Marino, the Vatican, Cyprus), and probably several more (Moldova, Luxembourg, Kosovo, Czech Republic, Germany, even Italy). And don't forget to include Armenia and Georgia, which are geographically and perhaps politically as much European as, say, Turkey. Of course, some minor detours would include a few of these, but certainly not all--and not within your timeframe or budget.
On the other hand--because there's always another hand--getting out on a major trip of any sort is a major accomplishment in itself these days. Hope it works out for you!
