Hi All,
I'm pretty new to touring but I've been commutting between 16-20 mile a day for the last 10 years so I'm fairly fit. This year I've got a family reunion in germany (in Detmold) and I was thinking about riding there. Summer is coming up and I've really got to get started with preparing and planning if it's going to happen.
I was thinking about riding to hull from york then getting a ferry to rotterdam and from there riding through holland to detmold in germany. I've had a look on google maps and it reckons its about 228 miles from rotterdam which isn't too bad.
So ,I was wondering if any of you had done something similar and what did you do in terms of maps and planning routes/places to camp or b&b?
any information would be greatfully received
thanks
