From looking at the world map on my wall I've drawn a rough route that I'd like to take. The first bit of the tour will be getting the ferry from Newcastle to Amsterdam. The ferry can be booked for £85 (it's an overnight ferry). Flights to Europe are so cheap but when bikes are added on to the ticket price and the extra baggage costs it's getting near £100. On top of that I don't think I could fly. I'd be too scared the bike would get damaged/lost. So the ferry seems the less stressful option. From Amsterdam, it's east across Holland and Germany as far as around Berlin. Then south through Czech Republic, south-west through Germany again (towards Munich). After that it's south through Austria and into Italy. Then west through Italy towards France. North through France, Belgium and ending up in Amsterdam again to get the ferry back over to Britain.
In a couple of months time I'll be looking into the route more closely for the first few weeks of the tour. After that I'll be making it up when I'm there!
