There are also rumblings that Mr Legg might have snaps of the team with 'random tourists'...

those tourists weren't random. They were hand picked!

Hi iLB,

I'm quite new to this website so not sure how to send a private message so I'm going to write on this thread. Essentially I was hoping for some advice now that you have completed your UK to Gibraltar bike ride. I am in the early stages of organizing my own tour to Gibraltar and was wondering whether you have any advice on places to stay/ route planning/ kit to take etc. Any help would be very gratefully received.

Cheers,

Harry

I cycled from southern Sweden to Gibraltar several years ago. Once into France (coming down through Sweden, Denmark, Germany and Belgium) me and my mate came down the Rhone Valley, turning right at Avignon then followed the coast south west as close as possible all the way down to Gibraltar.

We stayed several nights in France in these hotels http://www.hotelformule1.com/gb/home/index.shtml and other cheap places in Spain.

We started at the end of October and took about six weeks to complete the 4,500 km and flew back to London with BA.

Good luck, you should have a great time.

And welcome to the forum, you'll soon get the hang of it.
