Thanks for the advice!
I think whichever bike I decide to do it on, it will be for the whole journey. I like the idea of making the trip on the one bike and taking it all the way back, which will mean I'll definitely have to have a carnet. This shouldn't be an issue with the value of the bikes I'm looking at! The GL cost me £275!
I look forward to reading the Stella Alpine trip report!
Can anyone suggest any good trip reports from riders on similar bikes?
I'm in the middle of reading Jupiters Travels (a bit lighter than the GL but still fairly similar?) and have got the Road Heroes DVD from this site which has some stuff by Peter and Kay Forwood.
Jan, Thanks for the recommendation to have a look at Sjaak Lucassen. Great videos!
Definitely feeling inspired at the moment but unfortunately can't ride because of a broken ankle! May as well get the spanners out and start doing some maintenance. Thanks again!
