Again 1 week on the road

Just over a week ago, on Saturday 12.03.22 I started the last stage of this Bikepacking Europe project. And even though it was not my first big departure, it was once again hard for me to say goodbye and leave everything behind. Luckily, though, it didn't take long this time to get into the right mode and find my rhythm. In this first week I already crossed 5 countries, and not only the landscapes, cultures, weather and food were extremely varied, but also my sleeping places. Forests, bus stops, harbors, meadows, basketball courts, camping kitchens, it was all there.... Accompanied by Andy, Peter and Nico I went from Lucerne via Basel to France and then on my own to Paris, where Charles (I met him in Porto in December) showed me around the whole city and invited me for the night. The ferry brought me from Dieppe to Newhaven. It continued across southern England and Wales before I arrived in Ireland in the meantime. Beautiful coastal roads along the Atlantic and wild mountain landscapes give me a wonderful time here. Now it goes on for me to Northern Ireland, Scotland and then via England and Wales back to the mainland.
