Hi Recentley i completed a sponsored bike ride from Tunstll To Towyn (70 miles) to raise money for cancer research. Next year we are stepping it up a little bit and cycling from Brussels in Belgium to Burslem in Stoke-On-Trent. 400 miles over 6 days. Now I've never cycled on the continent? Any advice? We are hiring a camper van for the trip, now this has nothing to do with the cycling side but will we need to book into campsites in Belgium and France? Or can you just pull on a car park or quiet road? Never done a trip this big before so any help/advice would be much appreciated.
with a CAMPER VAN you can simplify the logistic troubles of bike touring inmensily ! i would say you will have at least 10 possible spots where to park the Van safely everyday during your tour, the Van driver can get food supplies and water as you ride, etc
great idea ! and luggage free bikes: great relief on the cyclist !
Yeh exactly! They are all the reasons we decided to hire one. We have found a local company that will rent us a 6 birth for just over £500 for the trip so that sounds really good to me!
