I may be looking at riding a new acquisition from London to Tallinn which would mean the Harwich to Rotterdam ferry on a Friday night to Saturday morning and then east ASAP so I don't miss work on the Monday afternoon.

Anticipated time would be around end of October early November.

Anticipated stops would be around the German-Polish border, then probably just inside Lithuania. Time and cost are a factor: I think this is cheaper than taking the Rostock ferry to tallinn.

Recommended routes and camping sites (GPS coordinates or websites?)would be nice.

Also any pointers on riding in Poland (never been) would be appreciated: road conditions etc.

Thanks

I rode Poland last august: roads are in acceptable conditions, but pay attention to the "koleyni" which are the tracks on asphalt that are created by the heavy traffic (trucks).
They can be quite slippery if it rains...

I rode in Poland last August too, see

The first 40 km of the E36 once we had crossed into Poland were attrocious, the overtaking lane (left) was slightly smoother than the inside lane - all the traffic was using it, only pulling over to let us pass. It was really bumpy - sort of wished we had GS1200's rather than Monsters.
Also echo what Knight said about the "koleyni" they can be up to 100mm deep and throw you off balance - I only rode in the dry, luckily, so can't comment on the wet situation.

Forgot to mention the Polish Goldwing owners we met in Germany, heading for a Treffen in Czech Rep. I asked why they were riding through Germany instead of Poland - 'the roads are better'

It's possible no doubt.

Have done Helsinki to Acchen on 2 1/2 days.
The roads in Poland aren't so bad just quite similar than yours.
There are lot of low-priced gasthouse's in Germany as same price as camping and much more cosyand quicker if you are with tight schedule.
In Suwalki near Lithauen border hotel DOM Nautiliska on main road in town use to be 25€ with breakfast and there you have only 760 km to home.

I travelled the opposite route from Russia through Estonia Latvia, Lithuania, Poland Germany Holland I found the roads in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania very good - Lithuania the policing was very hot, told by two greek lad there experience with the police was bad the fines huge and corruption obvious, There were some very long gravel sections on diversion where the roads were being repaired. However northern poland was quite bad on the roads, it was raining the road surface was poor to very poor in some places and the 'Koleyni' were at time a nightmare, in many places they were just a ripple in the road in other places they were quite deep and full of water - they can be ridden around but sometimes I was forced to cross them - this was very slippy and easy to get locked into the ridge and on one occasion forced off the road onto the gravel edges by drivers coming the opposite way doing mad overtakes with no regard at all for the conditions or the fact they were head on to me coming from the opposite direction. On more than one occasion I had two vehicles overtaking another vehicle giving three vehicles across the road towards me - in the rain - I think there are many poles who drive maybe drunk or with the red mist and bikes seem pretty low on their agenda - It got worse towards night on the outskirts of Gdansk - got to say some of the least pleasant driving I have seen in western Europe and far worse than anything I have seen in North Africa or Russia - sorry Poland but my experience was poor. I found the Polish people really very nice - just put them behind a wheel and it all goes to pieces !
