Hi all,
I am, well will be doing a baltic tour next year, probably in June. I am going to fly into Helsinki, then will be travelling through Estonia, Latvia and finally lithuania. I would like to know if anyone has done this tour(I will also be camping, solo). My route will roughly be following the Eastern side along the Russian border. Any info or advice on this trip would be most appreciated....I have done a few tours so am not a complete novice.......thankyou

Two people (Isa and Terry) who did a cross world tour went through Latvia and Lithuania and wrote sections for each.

I went through the Baltics in 2007, but stayed further west and stayed indoors: http://www.bikerussia.com/category/eu/baltics/ I found them to be easy countries for touring and easier than Poland - where the roads were a bit more variable and I had a bit more difficulty with language in German speaking parts of Poland.
