Not really a ride out but am thinking of a trip to Poland in April (there and back in one week) anyone completed it with some advice for me?

Cheers

Ben

Have a word with steve (devonkitchens) on here, he has driven out there a few times recently and also knows a few people out there (and they like bikes too)

its Worth A visit even more so if you like Vodka

I have been there once on the bike and a three times for work and there are just too many Tesco's for my liking

Remember that the getting there is as important as getting there......you should allow time to smell the roses

Poland and back is about 2000 miles and too far to travel in a week to see see it properly in my opinion

I think you could do about 1200-1400 miles around Europe in a week and have a much nicer time

Cheers for the quick replies guys. Anyone else experience of Poland?

rode in and across countries bordering it (slovakia, czech republic and germany) but never actually in Poland ....as its EU now it will be nice and straight forward in terms of insurance cover and crossing the border.

Here is the proposed route

Day 1 - Amsterdam
Day 2 - Berlin
Day 3 - Warsaw
Day 4 - Prague
Day 5 - Nurnberg
Day 6 - PAris
Day 7 - SOmerset

Hi Ben.
It's a great country. I gotta work with some Polish and they are a great bunch of people.
When they go home they drive straight thro in 20-24 hours.Do not go into Berlin, damn it's a mad place, worse then london. Most of the roads in Poland are very bad. Soon as you cross the border from Germany your speed is halved.They seem to make em in a workshop, concrete slabs, 1 lane wide 8ft long pushed off the back of a wagon, where they land they stay! But well worth the trip tho and a day in each place is not enough.
Keep us posted when ya going, i might join ya.
