Have managed to wangle five weeks off from 14 Sept and planning a long tour. My longest ever. Plan is to cycle from Winchester, ferry to St Malo, and then through France (not sure if east or west of Pyrenees) then end up somewhere like Gibraltar/Seville/Faro for a flight home.
I will be camping mostly, plus warmshowers and a few friends along the way. I have a touring bike and most of the kit needed. I am replacing my very comfy Exped Downmat with a much lighter Synmat UL. I will have a few questions about current views on mobile data etc when away, cooking advice, and will post them when I have a mo.
I am fairly experienced at touring, but this will be a leap further in terms of full on camping. Views on Spanish stealth camping are of interest. I am hoping that French municipal sites further south will be open till 30 Sept, by which point I expect to be in Spain
