Total newbie
Total newbie here. Cant really find what forum topic to put this under. Sorry if its the wrong one.
Im 24 from scotland and looking to do a bit of touring in the future
Im currently sitting my lessons just now. The main reason im getting a bike is so I can go on a couple of adventurous biking hols during the year. I.e tour ireland and scotland, europe. Originally I was going to do a 3 or 4 weeks a year touring but you guys are an inspiration and have got me thinking.
First of all im not scared to do a large trip and after reading up a bit I really want to do a rtw. I have no problem giving up my job. I don’t know about the house though. If I sell it then I would reccon id get at least £10000 towards the trip. However if I lease it it would pay my mortgage plus a bit extra while im away. Anyways plenty of time to think about that.
Just a couple of questions. Theres so much info on this site im overwhelmed
If it’s a rtw id like to do it in 2009 or most likely 2010 so I can save up as much as I can. Do you plan the route first then work out how much roughly you need, or do you find out how much you can get and work out a route in your budget.
Also is it possible to do a rtw and do casual work on the way to help fund the trip. Has anyone ever done this.
As the world is such a big place and theres so many ways to do it I was wondering if theres common routes that people take. From what I gather so far most people take totally different routes.
Cheers if you can answer my questions.
