I haven't planned the duration.
Early May solo Mini tour planned across the Netherlands, just into Germany.
Night Ferry from Harwich to Hook, the plan is to visit as many National Parks there and back as possible (there appear to be quite a few decent ones). Hoping for cranes, white storks, shrikes, golden orioles, churring nightjars and of course glow worms (though it’s a little early in the season for that).
Just booked my ferry tickets, now sat here tapping fingers on table for 4 months until it’s time to point the bike in the direction of Harwich. Can’t wait!
All accomodation now booked. Sailing overnight to The Hook from Harwich on the 30th April riding through as many National parks as possible to Walbeck, in Germany (just), then heading back along the Belgian border, again hoping to see more National parks and back on May 9th. Wish Id booked for longer now!
5 days in, and luck with the weather. Like summer down south. Currently enjoying a tapas and vino tinto in central Valladolid. Summer riding would be unbearable for me anyway. 3rd attempt on this route and still enjoy it. Mixture of camp and hotels. Will be mostly camping in France, as rooms are more expensive.
Thoroughly recommend Spain.
I will be riding the Camino Francès, St. Jean Pied de Port - Santiago de Compostela + (leaving from home) together 1000km over a time of 15 to 20 days. Looking for anybody interest to joining me? Contact me if interested for more information.
With respect, I couldn't disagree more.Have done this and would advise you have a bell or more likely an airhorn. The last 100km is full of people wandering all over the roads not paying attention to bikes and cars coming up behind. Or avoid the minor roads and stick to the main ones. Drivers in Spain are very accomodating.
Will be doing the South - North version (VDLP in Spain) late summer after doing MizMal (Ireland) over the next two weeks.
An airhorn would certainly make a cyclist incredibly unpopular on a route renowned for its spiritual dimension.
