Hi
We are from Melboure. Yes we have finally booked. We are going to spend 4 nights in London before the tour and the another night after before our flight back home. Can you belive we only have 28 weeks to go???
We cant wait.
I do have some tips. (Just from firends that have done the tour).
1/ They are very strict with the weight of your bag. 20KG
2/ They dont include your sleeping bag as weight so you might be able to stash some things in there.
3/ Take the tunnel to the hotel. Everyone says its easy.
4/ Apparently ther is a duty free shop of the boat that takes us across the channel. Apparently we can by the grog there and take it with us. Just not to sure.
All the best in saving your pounds / euro.
Speak soon

Hi All
I am doing this tour as well.
I am from Melbourne and I am going to be in London 6 days before the tour and it would be great to catch up with some people in London.
Looks like the royal national is the place to stay. I am staying there as well.
Just over 3 months to go…getting excited.
