General Discussion / Touring with Children

« on: February 19, 2018, 02:34:15 pm »

I am an experienced touring cyclist but this spring, for two weeks, I will be touring with my great nephew (14 years old). His sister (9) says the trip should be 2 years. This will be his first attempt at a bicycle touring trip. It will be a one way trip with his parents or grandfather picking him up at the end of two weeks. We will be self contained on this trip.

I’m hoping to get him hooked on touring. I have no experience touring with young children. Any suggestions, comments, or advice to make this a great trip for him and me!

I have used maps.me app for years on my smart phone and tablet, GDMBR - England - France - for examples. Have most of the ACA routes on it. Made routes from google maps and moved them over to maps.me. It is also great for geocaching.

2014 on the GDMBR we came across some stage one bans. In 2012 on the TA everything was extreme fire conditions but I don't remember any bans.

Lets make this simpler! Coming in on an international flight can you bicycle out of Heathrow Airport? Looking at Google maps not sure.

International / Heathrow Airport to ...............

« on: January 09, 2015, 02:53:18 pm »

I’m looking for a bicycle friendly route from Heathrow Airport to Portsmouth? Maybe the route goes through Guildford? Or a bicycle friendly route from Heathrow to Plymouth? Or can I take a train from Heathrow Airport and travel to Portsmouth or Plymouth without changing trains?  -(8 )>
