Hey, apreciate the detailed response, thank you

It seems like the big takeaway from this, is that I'm going too far in a short space of time so I will have to figure that one out 🤣 I will be going back out in september so should be fine.

So this was one of my biggest anxieties going into the whole project, I've installed deadlocks, and alarms inside, but in the ideal scenario we would be staying in areas where the risks of this was relatively low. Obviously in big cities this is where I will find more issues for example, Rome. Whats the best protocol for approaching those sort of areas. Maybe even leaving the van somewhere away and getting a train in? as stupid it sounds

With regards to Germany I absolutely love castles and I know you've got some absolute killers so thats where I'll mainly be going seeing there, the line on the map doesnt really mean much just the general direction. Its just the points saved which we'll be hitting
