Subject: Thinking of the summer
As the first winter snows are falling here in Newcastle, UK I am thinking
about where to take my AT for its first holiday in June or July 1998. As a
total novice of bike holidays (just day trips up to now) I would welcome any
advice from our readers in mainland Europe. I can only take 10 days max and
have 2 friends with bikes to come too. Over a few beers and a map of Europe
we thought Newcastle to Hamburg to Berlin to Prague to Bavaria to Austrian
Alps then north back to Hamburg. Can anyone advise if that is a realistic and
recommended trip in the time. As we have more money than time (all born again
bikers) we plan to travel light and stay in bed and breakfast places (do these
exist in Germany ?). Do we need special licences to travel in Germany -
reading the list suggests that there is many rules you guys/gals have about
bikes which we dont have in UK.
If any of you are planning on touring in the UK this Summer and are passing
through Newcastle then please call. You would be welcome to stay here a night
and I can maybe join you for a days ride. Scotland is great but there is also
a lot to see in Northern England (Northumberland and Cumbria) which I think
many of you miss out. Let me know if you are interested and I can tell more.
Regards
Mark & Sandy
