Note that at this point, entering Europe from the UK will require a 14-day quarantine. Doesn't look likely that this will change by end of this month.

We (UK nationals) can now (or from July 15) travel through france and onwards into most European union countries without carrying out Quarantine unless showing signs of Covid 19 ..

With a month to do it, I would heartily recommend heading south first, if restrictions and funds allow.

You'll probably already know about the scenery and roads in France, Switzerland and Northern Italy. Likewise, Slovenia, Austria, and Czech are all noteworthy.

Speaking personally, I like many Polish towns for their old centres, but a lot of the countryside is a bit flat and uninspiring for my riding tastes, whilst the roads can be pretty heavily clogged with freight. Less so now that the motorway network has opened up.

That might seem a bit ironic given that I live in Estonia which, itself, is not exactly alpine but it is far less populated and the abundant wild forests, hidden lakes, plentiful camping spots and deserted beaches make up for it.

I, myself, will be doing a loop down through Poland to Prague, Vienna, the Tatras and Krakow before heading home again in early August.

Hi Warthog ... Thats interesting .. When are you heading off ? ... I will probably head down to Spain at some point but not sure when .. I am familiar with Poland Chech republic Slovakia and Hungary by Bike although that was 25 years ago ... i enjoyed it very much ..
maybe we could meet up somewhere along the way ..Cheers Tom

Exact dates unclear at this point. Sort of depends on my girlfriend's work.

It'll be her first foray into bike travel and her first long stint as a pillion! Excited to introduce her to it all!

I think your destinations will have changed a great deal: like seeing them again for the first time.
