Bike touring - Europe and Australasia

Some tour notes that I hope maybe of use. I use cycling mainly as a means of getting from place to place and seeing the country more than as end in itself - though this depends on the interest in the area and if I have been there before.

The tours:

• England, Wales, Ireland and Scotland, England again, Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Czech, Germany, Netherlands, etc, 1993

  [6 months, 11000km] There are a few images in the text, generally of low quality to keep them small - they are around 6k each and linked to larger versions (20-30k) of the same image.

• Spain, France (mostly), Andorra, Germany, Italy, Switzerland
  then Helsinki to Amsterdam 1999

  [5 months, 12000km] No images yet

• An Australian ride ... from Melbourne to Cairns, June-August 1995 and a couple of bits on the way back. [3 months, 5000km]. This and NZ are text only at present

• And New Zealand too ... [2 months, 3800km] August to October of 1997.
