Europe for a month (starting 14-July12)
 
Hi folks,

I'm off to Europe (starting in 14th July) for a month :D and will be wild camping most of the time or campsite/cheap B&B.

Tentative Route -London>Calais > Benelux (Ardennes) > Germany (Black Forest) > Switzerland & Austria (Alps) > Italy (Lakes & Tuscany) > France (Provence) > N. Spain(Pyrenees) > Bordeaux & back.

Anyone doing the same / part of the route would like to join me?

I should be in N Spain by 3/4th Aug if you are around at that time.

So below is the route -
Bd de l'Égalité to A16 - Google Maps
still flexible though - (just want to get out of London)

Simon, (slight change from what I mentioned earlier, had to leave Germany out - next year perhaps)


Tim, I would most probably be around N/Spain at that time too...
(might visit a friend in Saragossa)

Are you doing Pyrenees?

This is my plan so far: ( similar in parts to yours )

28th July catch Eurotunnel early ish morning. 8am+/_ head for Nice via a stop Lake Geneva and through Alps to arrive Nice area late afternoon 1st August. Camping all the way , anywhere..........

2 Aug Collect a friend (may need to hire car, he don't do bikes! ) spend day at La gorge du Verdon. Return to nice area (dump car)

Head for N Spain morning of 3rd August. After that on to Pyrenees, and then head south as far as time allows. Allowing time to be home by 11/12th Aug.

My main constraint is 1st-2nd Aug meeting up with friend near Nice, he has booked a day off and will be miffed if I don't turn up!
