Depends upon the device being used and the resolution being used for filming, higher resolution means larger files.

Do you need to save the whole ride to cards? It would be easier if you could transfer the contents of the card to a laptop or external hard drive each night then re-use the same card
yes...but im not carrying a laptop

Camping en route or stopping somewhere where someone might have t'internet or could you factor in comfort breaks at local Internet cafe's
You could set yourself up with some ubiquitous cloud storage such as Google Drive beforehand and upload as you go

I found one high quality camera spec which suggested up to 8 GB/hour for full HD so that would be 4 hours per card. 60 hours altogether = 15 cards. Then you'd want a few extra for spares, or for recording off the bike so you might be talking 20 cards. You could record at a lower quality and cut that number down.

It really depends on the bitrate as to which the video is recorded at, each camera on it's various settings would record at different bit rates.
For example.
GoPro Hero 3 Black at 1080p and 60fps records 17min25sec at 3.94GB.
So each 32GB card could hold 2 hours and 20 mins.
Taking into account that it will take around 60 hours to complete, the GoPro would need 27 cards
Contour ROAM at 960p and 30fps (set to the higher bitrate setting) records 51min33sec at 3.94GB.
So each 32GB card could hold 6 hours and 50 mins.
Taking into account that it will take around 60 hours to complete, the Contour would need 9 cards.
The calculations are an estimate and times are taken from recordings from my journeys in the day time. The bitrate at which the videos are recorded at varies, not only from camera to camera and mode to mode but also depending on the light conditions and colours. White takes up less memory to record than black.
If you want to try and get a clearer answer, then test how long you can record for with your camera, preferably in daylight and moving. That way you can work out roughly how many cards you will require by how big the file is and how long it is.

cheers guys...
I had an idea to record it all nd speed it up on playback...like that train video from kondon to b righton in 5 minutes years ago...
no biggie...
I cant carry a laptop...I can 'empty' the camera at hostels if there is access to a pc but that's in no way reliable enough.
so I was thinking spare cards...gonna be expensive though....so a non starter really.

I just installed an app for my camera phone which can achieve that result very easily - link.
I don't think you'd want to use a phone, but I'm sure you could set a digital camera to take 1 picture every few seconds and then assemble the photos into a video to be played back at 25+ frames per second. You'd have to do something about battery life though because most cameras aren't going to last a whole day on one charge.
I think you could reduce the memory card requirement significantly this way.
