never ridden my bike out of uk and before i seize up with old age i want to do a euro trip .
i have friends in slovenia so that seems a reasonable destination, the distance being around 1100 miles. ( slovenia is top right of italy so i am assuming france,germany ,austria ish to get there )
what ( considering im not the most fastest ,and i fidget/smoke a lot) would be the number of days i should realistically allow to get there?
obviously a passport needed, debit/credit card. and a set amount of cash?
im not over fussed of actually riding ALL the way, so is there ways i can reduce the time of the journey, ie train to paris? or a train from france through germany etc?
what is the sort of minimum kit i need to take? assuming easter/early summer i intend to go?
any one any thoughts?
it would be a solo affair, as i dont think my daughter would cope with the time on bike.
ah .. found this! it seems if needed i can go all the way by train! , so , which sections would be nicer to ride than sit on a train? i can see i could literally split the journey into half ride/have train it
