August 2005: Cycle from Odesa (Ukraine) via Budapest, along the Danube to Donauwoerth in Germany, Heilbronn, Calais, Dover, England, Wales, ferry to Dublin.

Hi Gearoid,

I'm currently planning to be heading the same way, only the opposite direction, at the same time, so maybe a head-on collision on the way?!
