4000km of Europe
I just got back from a little bike ride across Europe. Final distance was just over 4000km over six weeks. I decided to do a 'series' of posts about it on my website, and just published the first one: https://danielgroves.net/adventures-pho ... /eurovelo/
We were travelling quite a lot heavier than most here (and then I usually would), but needs must (you'll see why later). There will be some more posts, but not until I get back from Scotland as I leave on saturday and they take ages to put together. If there's any interest, I'll keep posting them up here. Otherwise… I'll probably keep posting them anyway.

Re: 4000km of Europe
I finally got around to publishing the next part for this, focusing on Greece. It's titled Diesel and Dust, and I'd appreciate any feedback anyone fancies giving! As always, a couple of teaser images…

Re: 4000km of Europe
Really enjoyed reading that - yes please post more. It looks like an amazing trip.
Just to be pedantic though - it is 'breathe' not 'breath' in the second para ie 'finally we had some room to breathe'

Good read. It's quite amusing how you got the only photo of the two of you together.

Everything shot on the Fuji X-T1, but I was carrying a fair size setup for the trip (tripod, filters, etc)Mike wrote:What camera are you using for these pics??
