Cumbria to Berlin and back again, all of April to do it.
 
so.
me and my friend have April off,
he has a Triumph Tiger 955
i'm on the Honda CG125 (i only hope he can keep up)

at the start of April we head from Workington, Cumbria (no one knows where that is),
over to Newcastle (couple nights out and beer)
get the ferry to Amsterdam (more nights out with beer)
then over to Hamburg (beer)
Berlin (beer)
then make our way back using the calais- dover ferry
London ( you get the gist)
then home

those are the major map points, but we'll be stopping in places between, or changing the plan altogether as we see fit.

anyone en route wants to join us for the trip/ for the nights out are welcome to it, send me a message.

anyone wants to give us somewhere to sleep (even a garden for the tents!) would be cool too.

otherwise, wish us luck, we will need it.

well we set off in a few days, making sure everything fits.
there is a honda CG under there somewhere.

i know it looks allot for a month, but its mostly camping stuff.
yellow bag is roll mat, bivvy bag, and sleeping bag
one pannier is tent and space
other pannier is clothes
tank bag has a water bottle in it. its mostly there for somewhere to hold my phone which is my gps.
i also have a mostly empty rucksack for my documents and valuables when i'm off the bike.

Eh up Rymm
Have a great trip.
Osnabruck is a nice town to stay in and visit, I was station there for years and its a nice town, some nice riding in the Westerfallen area

You will love Berlin it is good, I don't know how long you are stopping but there are loads of places to see.
Alexanderplatz
Zooalogisher Garten
The area around the Tiergarten
Brandenburg Tor
Checkpoint Charlie
Kurfurstendamm, which used to be great for bars

I was stationed there in 84 but went back in Dec 2013, great city
