  1. Hi,

    Back in April I started a topic

    http://groups.google.co.uk/group/uk.rec.cycling/browse_thread/thread/2529e967581640cc/be9233357fc23c04?lnk=st&q=cycling+dorset+romania&rnum=1&hl=en#be9233357fc23c04

    asking for suggestions and tips about cycling from the UK to Romania.

    Well... I left Buckland Newton in Dorset on July 23rd 2006 and on 19th
    August 2006 I found myself in Craiova, Romania up against 38oC
    temperatures and a chest infection. So decided to take a train for the
    last bit of Danubian scrub land to Bucharest.

    Please see the website --> www.roadtoromania.co.uk for more
    information/photos etc.

    The route I took was as follows (places are where I stopped for the
    night)...

    Buckland Newton (GB) --> Portsmouth (GB) / Le Havre (F) --> Rouen -->
    Meru --> Chateau Thierry --> St. Dizier --> Nancy --> Colmar -->
    Donaueschingen (D) (and Danube bike path to Vienna) --> Erbach -->
    Ingolstadt --> Deggendorf --> Linz (A) --> Krems --> Hegyleshalom (H)
    --> Veszprem --> Mohacs --> Novi Sad (SCG) --> Belgrade (where I
    stopped for a week's rest - beautiful city) --> Golubac --> Strehaia
    (RO) --> Craiova (where I would have continued towards Alexandria and
    then headed N to Bucharest).

  2. You passed right by us -- we were staying about 30km north of
    Colmar. Lots of nice cycling in the Vosges, but one of the
    highlights of the holiday was no.2 son's record 39km trip from
    France to Germany and back (actually up and down the Rhine, with
    two crossings, one by ferry).

    Great trip, yours!

    Brendan
