General Discussion / Here we go!

« on: March 19, 2015, 10:16:46 pm »

Hi again folks,
Just a quick post to say that my and a friend are flying out to the States on Monday (!) to get cracking on the TransAm.

We're spending a week in NYC and a couple of days in DC before heading down to Yorktown so not actually on the road until early April. If anyone is starting in the near future, maybe see you on the road!

Thank you all for your help and advice, it really meant a lot.

I'll be blogging (though i don't know how regularly) at www.tomsontour.co.uk if you're interested.

No doubt i'll be posting with more questions in a couple of weeks...

Tom

General Discussion / TransAm 2015- Looking for others

« on: November 13, 2014, 09:51:32 am »

Hi everyone,
I'll be going East to West next year on the TransAm route, my friend just had to pull out so its currently looking like i'll be going solo! If anyone else is heading E-W, i'm intending to start during April (exact date is flexible). I am happy to do it alone but I think it'd be nice to have some company, so let me know

Either reply here or you can get me via email at tjnmaxwell@gmail.com if you'd rather.

Cheers
Tom

General Discussion / General Advice- TransAm Route

« on: May 30, 2014, 06:51:18 pm »

Hi there folks,
I, along with a friend, are planning on doing the TransAm Route from West to East on our gap year.
I have read a few different views on when the best time to start would be and just want to hear a few more!

I am free from the end of July of this year through to September 2015, however need time to earn money and so the earlier I think i'd be able to leave is December when obviously it would be too cold in the NW.

From what i've heard, i'm leaning towards starting in April and ending up on the East Coast a few months later (we have no time pressure so intend to A) take is fairly easy on the pace and B) probably get lost quite a lot). I live in the UK so have absolutely no knowledge of US weather, any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance
Tom
