Wow. Have to admit I just don't have the balls to do Africa... that said, I think it'd be preferable to the USA

I've read quite a few books about African touring and I agree that it seems too much aggro for me. Maybe it's a young person's thing. I need a bit more comfort! Being stoned by mobs of kids in Ethiopia is more intrepid than I want on my holidays.

That's pretty much the case throughout given the experience of my other half in a few central African countries - real dependency culture, whether it's aid or just tourism, or just expecting God to provide (missionary's have a lot to answer for in some areas!).

Maybe see you there. OH has never been cycle touring, so we're planning on cycling from Nottinghamshire, through Lincolnshire round The Wash to about Burnham Deepdale and back. Mainly it will be flat, so will please the OH. I'll be carrying most of the kit too - will be all camping and I'll be carrying the tent and stoves!

I can thoroughly recommend the hostel and campsite at Burnham Deepdale.
I don't know if you'll be going that way, but the route between Kings Lynn and Sandringham is lovely and mostly off road. It was a shock hitting a small hill going into Sandringham after it being completely flat for the previous couple of days.

Someone must have done by now, I mean the bicycle's been invented for over a hundred years...

We're intending staying at the campsite at Burnham Deepdale if there's space. I noticed that in the high season you have to book for 7 nights, or just take your chances. We might have a bit of a wander towards Sandringham. Haven't really planned the route that carefully, just the rough direction we want to take.

In a week from now, I'm flying into Edinburgh (volcanoes permitting), and shortly afterwards going up the west coast of Scotland, as far as I can get in two weeks or so, camping (at least most of the time).
For my first tour i am flying to Athens(June 20th) and cycling along the Adriatic coast(Croatia) up into Austria, through Germany etc etc all the way home to beautiful Birmingham. Should take no more than 6 weeks. Am i crazy?..Any advice from more experienced tourers? I'll be camping all the way, a mixture of wild camping and campsites.
