This map shows the approximate planned route of my bicycle adventure. As you can see, there are also forms of transport involved, but cycling will be the main one. Where I am using other forms of transport, I will have my bike in tow.
- The green lines show my approximate planned cycle route
- The orange line shows a bus journey
- The purple lines show train travel
- The blue line shows a boat journey
