Nofearnofun Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 I will be leaving SA on the 10th of July for the U.K. , from there I will meet you guys in Geneva on the 18th (still deciding if I should fly or take the scenic route and catch a train, nice 10 hour train ride).

If you have the time take the train. France is spectacularly beautiful. I don't know this for sure but I've heard it's not an easy task changing trains in Paris tho.
Nofearnofun Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 (edited) Jees. If you have the time take the train. France is spectacularly beautiful. I don't know this for sure but I've heard it's not an easy task changing trains in Paris tho. Yeah, I am very keen on the train. I am a bit sceptical of the change overs though as I will have two change overs, not sure about doing this with my bike and kit... Edit: Time wise, it looks like I would spend most of the day on the 17th on the train, spend the night in Geneva and look for something to do while I wait for you guys.

Hog_ Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 As much as I love long distance train rides, if you're dragging your bike along, rather avoid the trains. If they're anything like the German ones, it's going to be a huge pain in the ass dragging the bike through the (often crowded) stations for changeovers. Some trains also don't really have decent storage space, so the box will be in the way. You could DHL the bike from the UK to France, but it'll be pricey. If you book in advance the flights will be cheaper and faster. Another option: There are always a ton of Brits in France around that time. Maybe look on Pinkbike to see if you can catch a lift with someone. Nofearnofun 1
