Well done - have read all of these.
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.
Lovely pics and another very enjoyable update. Thanks again.
Loved this series. Gutted it's the last instalment, thanks for sharing it Amanda
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!
This has been a really great set of articles. Looking forward to the alps write up.
Thanks Amanda - been a great series to read
A good read, lots of effort pedaling and putting it into words.
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.
