The Plan
◄ Previous │ 50cc to Assisi │ Next ► Assisi and back on a 50cc moped. About two months on the road and around 5000km of travel. Detouring a lot, stopping everywhere, probably getting lost from time to time. Camping, bunking up in monasteries, sleeping rough under the stars. Praying. That, in short, is the plan. Sometime in the second half of June I'll be setting off on this quixotic pilgrimage. I've been granted three months of sabbatical leave by Launde Abbey, and I want to use the time to do something both restorative and stretching. At some point, riding my little moped back and forth around the Leicestershire countryside, the idea sprang into my mind: wouldn't it be great to ride right across Europe? So the sabbatical plan formed, and I'm in the final weeks of preparation. Mind you, to call it a 'plan' is a little bit misleading. I've got a bike, a destination, and a rough idea of the route I want to take. I've got no fix...
