Newbie needs advice?

Hi Guys,

Newbie here so first and foremost Hello!!

Have signed up to do a 800km charity road trip from UK to Germany, Its all fairly flat but I am going solo and being self reliant so camping and cooking most days. Two things really, what bike (on a tight budget of under £300) and trailer or panniers? Thanks in advance for any advice or comments

I'll the first to say it - I don't like your politics. I don't profess to know or understand the intent of your screenname, but IMO it's highly insensitive - and I'm not Jewish, Polish, English, or any other ethnicity the Nazis tried to abrogate before or during WWII; not that you have to be Jewish et. al. to be offended by the National Socialist Party and their ideals.

I imagine you'll provide some type of dismissive explanation, but the fact remains that I don't care for it. You don't have to care that I don't care, but I'm on record...

Hmmm, no money for a good bike + trailer so he goes trolling.

I propose not feeding the trolls.

Gee, way to make a guy feel welcome, the user name is and was not intended to offend, for your info, there is still a Panzer Division in the German Army, is that offensive, you tell me? All I asked was for some advise on costs of bikes and advice on types etc from people who I would consider as experienced bikers, I wasn't asking for some sort of handout, but hey, if I offended and raised suspision then fine, I won't be posting on this Forum again and will totally recomend you to future up and coming bike riders, NOT!
