2023 Subscriptions DavidC Posted May 24, 2019 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted May 24, 2019 Seeing if there is anyone else interested in doing a bit of touring with wild camping flung in. Next summer hoping to do 5 nights or so with approx. 50/80 miles a day, possibly heading over to Orkney / Shetland Isles. This year thought I might do a taster with 2/3 nights a bit more local, probably a long weekend in July. Anyone else have a similiar interest?

Life Members chung Posted May 24, 2019 Life Members Report Share Posted May 24, 2019 Nice one David! I like the “touring” part but not so much the “camping” bit though I’ll watch this development with interest .......... followed!

Administrators Jannza Posted May 24, 2019 Administrators Report Share Posted May 24, 2019 Also interested in the touring part but prefer to stay in b&b or hotel. DavidC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions ginty001 Posted May 24, 2019 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted May 24, 2019 this appeals to me, but not sure how much time I would have next year, could possibly do a long weekend ….

2023 Subscriptions Gerard Deeley Posted May 24, 2019 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted May 24, 2019 This sounds interesting, I may be up for some of it. DavidC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2024 Subscriptions Darryl Gunson Posted May 24, 2019 2024 Subscriptions Report Share Posted May 24, 2019 Like the touring bit but not so sure about the wild camping. Have done it in the past and the midges are a pita (and everywhere else as well). Hostels maybe. Plan on doing something myself this summer. Like Chung I’ll watch the thread with I interest.

Members Iain67 Posted May 26, 2019 Members Report Share Posted May 26, 2019 I would be up for lejog but also fancy a continental run as weather always better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions Codg1e Posted June 1, 2019 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted June 1, 2019 Glasgow to Barcelona would be a good one. Then ferry to Ibiza for a cycle round the island followed by a wee rave. Wouldn't be cycling back though KarenG 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavieB Posted June 3, 2019 Report Share Posted June 3, 2019 Davie, Would be up for a short tour with minimal bike packing and not that keen on camping, the less you take luggage wise the more you will enjoy riding the bike. With regards to future foreign trip ...given my experience of a couple of days in Netherlands it's a great way to spend time on the bike. I would happily do another trip either in the Netherlands - the bike lanes are better than you could ever imagine - or further afield. Goggle maps if set for bike lanes / bike routes proved pretty much idiot proof for my short trip., Darryl Gunson 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
