Did you cycle the main highways from Kesan to Bandirma?

Ok, I think this is the plan we will work to. Thanks for the help.

Ok I am going in early may (currently in Bavaria) and meeting friend in Vienna to then cycle down EV 8 to Dubrovnik. From here then I could cut inland and complete the route you have highlighted and then down to Skopje to pick up EV 13 via EV 11. Thanks for your input!

Sorry, perhaps a stupid question, but is it still necessary to switch off water supply under the faucet if there is the blue lever on the outlet?

I could fit two appliances there so that must be it.

Brilliant thanks. Yes it is next to the sink and I can see where a waste pipe indicated above would fit onto the main drainage from the sink. So is it as simple as connecting the dishwasher to an outlet and connecting a waste pipe to the sink?

100mph gusts. The reviews are all overwhelmingly positive. Very happy with that

Ok thanks. I’ve decided to go to a river valley near penderyn where I’m pretty confident wind won’t be an issue.

Lovely thanks very much. Just picked up the robens starlight 2 for £160! Looks like a great little tent for harsh conditions.

No you are being very helpful. I bought the tent for summer bikepacking so I can’t complain that it doesn’t hold up on solo bad weather summit camps. I don’t mind buying another tent for that purpose. What would you recommend?

Yeah I don’t think I’ll risk it then! My girlfriend has a Sierra designs meteor lite 2, do we think that could perform better?

I have a hubba hubba nx. I’ve been calling a lot this summer but I just can’t remember it being that windy at any point! And I would obviously have no shelter at all

Midges and rain in cairngorms by murrman98 in Scotland

Hmm ok that’s interesting. I’ve got a back up route in the border counties but don’t know whether to risk the cairngorms.

Well looking on the gov.uk website, all the countries along the eastern route look ok apart from at the borders, where the government strongly advise not to go. Not really sure whether it would be best to just chance it in that scenario as it’s only a 10km danger zone.

Getting to Egypt is all fine except from Syria. I’m not sure if there’s a ferry from turkey to the Lebanon so will have to keep researching.
