Just make sure your waterproofs are up to it, otherwise you will get wet, cold and miserable.
If there is anything you need to know, just drop me a line.

Thanks Magnus,
One thing I've realize is "th" as in "Thor" is written with a letter that looks a bit like a "p".
Here is my planned route, do you see any problems?

and here's the bike. I put some 700x35c Schwalbe Duremes on it as it will mostly be tarmac, but they'll be a bit of off road too. The cannister in the third bottle cage carries instant oatmeal, honey and 16 tea bags. I've found a brand that are quite strong and as I like my tea quite weak I find I can get 4 cups out of a single bag....so that's 64 cups. I should be ok. I also have couscous and stock cubes packed inside my cookset and a couple of packets of noodle soup in a saddlebag side pocket. The Ortlieb up front is half empty so I can easily carry food I buy along the way.
