Re: Tuscany Trail 2019
Would you recommend the route off season? That area should be doable even in winter.

Re: Great Glen Way
Canoed and walked the GGW. Never cycled, but it's on the list.
A great trail for interacting with the wildlife. One morning, on the hike, I woke up with about 50 ticks crawling all over me.
And lochside camping with the canoe was midge heaven. Horse hair worms and Ospreys. Loved it.

Re: New Route in Central Spain
"There is a place in Spain with an area twice the size of BELGIUM"
That made me laugh. Who knows anything about Belgium! (beer excluded). And the size of Belgium?

I hope there is some camping in pt2, otherwise it's a lot of gear for CC touring.

Re: Glasses. Plastic/glass. Safest?
I didn't know there were safety sunglasses.
But I know they won't work for me. I need good quality lenses. I can't wear bad ones, they drive me nuts, except my evening yellow ones.

Glasses. Plastic/glass. Safest?
I've started wearing my Rayban sunnies (glass lenses) because my cycling specific ones are dying and the 3 replacements - with 100's of great reviews on Amazon - are rubbish. Because the Raybans are glass, I'm a little nervous about what would happen if I crashed. Are plastic/polycarbonate safer? Or...

Saw my first wolf of the year last week.
Re: Oman?
Sorry. I was stuck in a beautiful valley in the French Alps for a week - without reception.
If I can get a good deal on a flight then I may try dec/jan which should be the coolest months.

Wolf.
Good Morning. Yesterday I was driving up the Col de la Cayolle, French Alpes, and got stuck at 1800m in a snow storm (I have a camper van - so perfect). This morning, 07:45 (french), a wolf walked past my van. About 50m away. 5 minutes in passing. Only seen 2. Last one was in Alaska. Very happy. Enj...

Re: Isle of Mull
I've done a fair few scuba dives just off your bivi spot. Lots of scallops there.
A great island for cycling round.

Oman?
I'm trying to get some ideas for this autumn's trip. 3 to 4 weeks. I'm after desert riding and 1st on my list is Namibia. But prices for flights are too high. (Just read The Sheltering Desert). Oman is next. Flights are good. Maybe transiting through or starting in Dubai. Crazy fast drivers, but lot...

Re: Round the world cycle
I have been thinking about doing an rtw for years. Having read most of the rtw books; one thing that puts me off and is common to all the books, is it is almost impossible to complete without riding on some very dangerous highways. You can read chapter after chapter of great countryside riding but t...

Re: Baja Divide
U tube - Ryan Van Duzer. He did a few vids of the trail. The best part was riding along the coastal desert (Pacific) between very remote, little fishing villages. This was a long time ago and was all dirt tracks. It may be all roaded now and full of RVs. The inner desert was beautiful, if you like d...

Re: Baja Divide
I did a 2 week trip down through the top part of Baja. Starting in San Diego. But it was long before the 'official' route was made. I don't bother mentioning it any more because it seems these days, that if you don't do the Bikepacking-com route then you didn't do it properly. A bit like my first de...
