Hello from Aberdeen.

Welcome to the site, touring plans sound amazing, wish I had the time and money to just go somewhere and cycle, maybe one day

Thanks Scoosh. I know I ought to look at bike express, but I think we will be happy to start from St Malo off the ferry, or Paris off EuroStar, or maybe even Santander off the ferry. I know we are lucky to be able to put 6-8 weeks to it, but we have worked for almost 40 years for the opportunity and it is instead of a retirement boat cruise or whatever. I am kind of caught at the moment, not sure whether to go for a round trip or a north south, or just a meander to wherever we end up. A bit of me thinks we ought to just leave and see where we end up day by day and week by week. Another bit of me thinks we ought to research and plan it all. What do you think?

TBH, I'm definitely not the one to ask

My thoughts and suggestion is that you post these questions on the Touting

Touring and Expedition section of CC. There are people there with some seriously good ideas, experience and motivation (should that ever be faltering

).

I keep coming back to read this guy's info - he's amazing and very interesting ....
