Ah, but I looked up Lithuania on Wikipedia and it says that the country covers 65,300 km[sup]2[/sup], only 26.8% of the UK's 243,609 km[sup]2 [/sup]or 50% of England's 130,395 km[sup]2[/sup] and I wouldn't say that England was a large country!ColinJ - I said the route went almost around all Lithuania

Well okay, Darn Sarth the country is a lot wider, but I have a coast-to-coast route planned up here for when I'm fitter - Scarborough-to-Blackpool - and it is only just over 150 miles. That is not taking the shortest route because I wanted to avoid the busy A-roads out of Scarborough and also to check out Dalby Forest.It feels quite big when you try to ride across it on a bike!
