I've loved reading about your trip. Sounds fantastic, thank you for taking the time to write about it. It might inspire me to try something similar in a couple of years.

Really inspired by this. I did trips like this pre kids. We didn’t go as far each day but you know what I mean. I really need to get back to it. I have a modest plan for a first overseas trip next summer. I thought mrs Ampthill had hung up her padded shorts for good. But no she’s coming with me 🙂

Dammit. You're not helping my thoughts about taking a proper grey gap year and bikepacking around Europe....

Nice one team_amanda.

Thanks everyone, I guess now is a good time to mention that I’m working on the next diary, from a far more challenging ride across the Alps this summer 🙂 Preview coming in issue 153 of the mag, too!

Chapeau Amanda!

I’m working on the next diary, from a far more challenging ride across the Alps this summer.

Can't wait for this - the Spanish diary has had me dreaming of a trip, so hopefully the next one will kick me into actually doing it.

I've really enjoyed this series. You say the next one is far more challenging? Crikey.
