Thanks Loafer (just down the road) great pictures, if a little foggy. I will be on my 80s Carlton & I have a new pair of tyres to put on that have a deeper tread pattern, then just keep fingers crossed for no fairies, aswell as tubes & repair kit in my bag. Really looking forward to it.

5 countries .... in June 9 of us are taking the train from home via London and Paris to Metz - then riding from there via Luxembourg along the Moselle to Koblenz, then the Rhine to Cologne before turning left to pass through the southern tip of Holland to Brussels and the train home. About 480 miles.

Am extending my London to Brussels ride last of year and will be riding Brussels to Paris on the 16 June. Then on the 26th am considering the 24 hour London to Paris ride with DA.

Other than that, I have an idea for a tour of the Isle of wight, that I can't get out of my head. If I found the time I would really love to rent a motorcycle from Inverness and do the Scotland leg of my leJog in a couple of days, the scenery was breathtaking and I would love to be able to stop a little to soak it in.

The plan is to hopefully do Home -> Edinburgh and back, up The Coast & Castles, as a holiday this year, depending how my better half progresses with her cycling.

For me it's just a two - three day tour of North Wales getting to grips with cycle camping / touring. If I take to it, I may try the North to South Offa's dyke route, then, who knows...
If you get over to betws y coed, there is a 5* touring and campsite called riverside touring park , cost no more then £10pn 5min walk into village. I will be using it most of this year before the big tour am doing when i will be touring for 6months or more. South america, you never know we might meet up on the road if your that way. Enjoy ootini.

Plan this year is to do some island hopping over a week using the CalMac Hopscotch ticket.

Starting in Oban > Barra > Eriskay > Uist's > Harris > Skye > Oban.

Snap! How are you getting from Skye to Oban? Presumably Armadale to Mallaig, then Lochaline to Fishnish, Craignure to Oban?
 
On Tuesday I'm starting my 1st ever tour; and it starts with a train to Exeter :smile:. I'm doing the south coast to Penzance then up to the north coast and along to Bristol where I'll spend a couple of days or so visiting family & friends. Then it's into Chepstow & following a cycle route to Holyhead. From there I'll be getting the ferry to Ireland and bimble around there for a while before getting a ferry back to the mainland. I'll then do a bit of southern Scotland before cycling back south to home.

At least, that's the plan at the moment; it's very much subject to whim & the weather. I'm planning to do a bit of temp work here & there to help keep the bank balance in the black though I have got enough money to keep me going for most, if not all, of the trip.
