Italy trip (or not?)
Ok, I'm a strange sort, I love the challenge of big miles in a short time, I don't have the luxury of being retired and having time on my hands, I can repeat this process of grabbing a long weekend of 4 days or so, but there's a certain urgency, which suits me. I like to get where I'm going, and I'm happy with big mileages, I managed 820 miles in a day when I had a CBR6, now I'm on an NC750X, so slightly easier.
I fancy Italy, I can start the evening before, and get to the tunnel easily, maybe progressing further if I get a good run, but......
If you don't have anywhere booked, where can you check in if its 01:00 ? Where is truly 24hrs ? And what can the real travellers here teach me about accommodation on the fly ? I'll have a tent, but wild camping is more risk that I would like.
I'm travelling alone, I've yet to search for someone with the same attitude, to press on hard with the miles is fine, but when the body give up, says you should stop, what tips can you provide ?
I'm not crazy, and I don't want to take risks of fatigue, or the fear of being stuck with nowhere to stay. Sure, some will say :
1, you're nuts, don't Rush, allow time, pre book your accommodation.
Someone else might say :
2, sure, I understand, here's how you deal with accommodation on tough long touring days
