London to Ukraine - Crimea (just an idea) ?
Just running an idea past you all -
I'm a 48 year old retired Copper with some spare time to waste.
For some time now I have been dreaming of a solo trip to the battlefields of the Crimea (Charge of the Light Brigade and such like). The trip would be done on a shoestring as cheaply as possible staying in cheap roadside accomodation. The trip will last 21 days. I reckon £70 a day including fuel should be suffice? I have the funds to live well but simply prefer not to waste money (I may have scottish blood).
The route I plan to use is - UK, Belgium, Germany, Austria, Hungary, Ukraine.
I'd like to ride no more than 250 miles a day but getting there (and back) 400 miles tops. Speed of travel averaging 60MPH tops.
The bike I intend to use for this trip is one of my Yamaha XT600E's. Yes I know it's a single cylinder but I love these things. It will certainly get me there and back but not in the comfort some of you are accustomed to.
The trip is planned for this August. I will be doing it on my own however if someone out there wants to join me then I'm all ears.
