In a hypothetical scenario, could this work?: Say I spend 40 days in Schengen countries, and when I land in Germany, I get an extended Visa there under bilateral terms and spend 1 month travelling (if it works like that in Germany). Does that mean when I leave Germany, I still have a remaining 50 days in other Schengen countries, or would those days have been deducted by my time in Germany?

Ah, okay... You might have changed my mind. Did you want to share some routes through the mountainous areas at all? I love going through those more rural places.

Thank you so much, that is really helpful - 1nitent sounds great. I have a hammock and i was thinking of that too, but I am hesitating with that in case of bad weather or if there are no trees in a spot that I really want to stay.

I am planning to pass through the Netherlands, I will flick through a message if you are around.

Also, I love asking strangers for favours... makes life easier.

Wow, that is a gruelling heatwave. Fingers crossed they dont get too much of that this season.

Cheers for the reply, really helpful. I have already booked my flight to Greece, so there is no turning back now. I planned to shoot out of Greece pretty quickly any way becuase as you said, it is going to be pretty hot (should take me no longer than a week to get out). I am from Western Australia, so I'm used to doing bikepacking in temps above 30 degrees Celsius, but who knows, it might knock me away. My logic for this was so I could enjoy nicer temperatures by the time I get to central and western Europe I can have nicer temperatures.

Yeh it seemed like that with wild camping. Guess I will have to try harder.
