It would have been about 900 miles but we've changed our plans. Now getting the ferry to Le Havre a few days earlier, down to the Med (Narbonne'ish), then west taking in the Tourmalet, over the Pyrenees to Pamplona'ish then follow the cost to Santander. 'Should' be about 1200 miles over four weeks. We're calling it 'the three seas tour'.

Sounds good, looking for some inspiration for my own route this year. Thinking of the La vèlodyssée Atlantic route from Roscoff to Hendaye (1,245km). Not sure I can reconcile doing a pre-planned route though!

Most of my ducks are lined up.
Got an interview at the US Embassy for an extended visa and once that's granted I can book the flights.

Can I ask how you are getting to Basel and back from Rotterdam. I had this plan for my wife and I, her first tour. But, not liking the options for flying and boxing up the bikes. Having to buy bike boxes at the airport if they happen to have any left. (what if they don't).the overnight ferry from Newcastle to Amsterdam or Hull to Rotterdam is taking up quite a big chunk of the budget. mm Whats your route in and out of Europe?

Been working on routes tbis week and am now heading to Harwich, Rotterdam, Eindhoven, Dusseldorf, Leige, Charleville (Ardines) Calaid and trains home from Dover. Decided to sack off Luxembourg.
Shortest day is 80, longest 120.
What's your route?
Also, does anyone have any idea on predicted wind direction in the area in July? That will determine which direction I go (circular route but would like the wind behind me in certain areas if poss).
