So after intense negotiations with my sister regarding my attendance at her wedding, an agreement has finally been agreed; i will travel down from the North East of Scotland to East Kent to attend, on one proviso, i can attend in traditional Bavarian attire.
No, i have no family links to the region, other than random nights in the Hofbräu house and a desire to own a full Bavarian outfit since my first visit 12 years ago. Funnily enough i own no such clothing, but i have several weeks leave owing and a desire to travel through Europe on my GS.
So that leaves me with the question: where to go? I have made several trips through the alps previously and it is an area I love, but all have been by car. I have a couple of mates making a European bike trip in a couple of weeks, but they are more experienced than me and have less time, so other than meeting up I'll leave them to hammer across the autobahn, whilst i slowly make my way across back roads.
So my question to the forum is: where to go? 4 weeks, Amsterdam to Calais taking in a lederhosen fitting and enjoying some amazing roads. Where should i go? 150 miles a day is my max with every 4th day a chilled/there's no way i can ride today day. Any suggestions? I realise there are many threads, but what would you do? Noting this is my first long bike trip?
Suggestions would be appreciated, do your worst.
Cheers. Mark
