Hi there, I've just joined, so here's the requisite intro...
I've been cycling all my life (well, since I could balance), having been created by two cycle-touring parents (I went on a week long trip to Norway six months before I was born, apparently).
I did a little bit of cycle touring when I was young, with my dad - one trip round East Anglia on a pre-war tandem and to Yorkshire the following year on solo machines (with one saddle bag each. No idea how we managed to cram all our stuff in), both times using YHAs.
My main focus for the last couple of decades has been mountain biking and I've been getting my two-wheeled camping tours with a motorbike instead. However, I'm getting the itch to use my own legs to go touring now. My wife isn't quite so keen to jump in at the deep end, so I reckon we'll be starting off taking our camper van with us and just going off for the day or maybe with one night away before returning to the luxury of the camper van.
