And over time you should get an idea of what you can cover per tank, 150 to 200 miles is a fair average for most bikes I'd say.

Well done you, after just six months of riding. The little Enfield proved you don't need a big bike to go touring you just have to take a little more time, which is what touring is all about. If this inspires anyone to get on two wheels and explore it's a job well done...

What a great adventure, thanks for taking us along. Can the older person tour solo? Of course they can. In all the years I have ridden bikes I have never thought of touring... until a year ago, when I did 2000 miles up and down the UK in seven days, camping every night... I loved it. North Wales is amazing if your looking for another adventure, I was there this year. The Fosse Way is a great road, I took it north last year on my way to Beverley, just North of Hull. And touring on a 350 is all about the route, ignore the motorways and check out the old A roads. EDIT: I forgot to add, I'm 63... 62 when I rode to Lands End and later John O'Groats (and Dunett Head) in the same year. My first two motorcycle camping trips.

Tough ride back on the M6, hot day traffic queues stop start and a dry throat which later turned into Covid unfortunately. Can’t wait to do it again.

Oh wow. Thank you so much for your excellent series. I'm not sure where to start on comments, so many things spring to mind. All power to you for even wanting to do such a ride just six months into your riding life, so happy you enjoyed the ups and downs. Wobbles are what happens when you go out of your comfort zone but you handled it all with style and now your comfort zone just got a whole lot bigger. Before you go any further treat Agatha and yourself to some heated grips, makes all the difference to comfort and the joy of riding can go on all year round. Personally, I can't wait until you start your next trip. Best Wishes and happiness. Stay safe 🙂 PS I always tour solo. The freedom to stop for a photo whenever I like, to ride at my own speed and divert off at random to look at something of interest is well worth doing.

I've found your channel recently and I gotta say BIG thanks to you and all the surprisingly high amount of british bike review channels that cover the Meteor 350, you people are doing SO MUCH for Royal Enfield it's not even funny! I've been watching so many videos on the Meteor 350 since I'm very interested in it and your judgement of "yes, it will do a big tour no problem" really put my mind at ease since that's what I've become interested in this year. I'm 30 and bought my first bike last year, a 125 that I somehow managed to ride up the Großglockner in Austria this year, since then I've learned that I need that little bit more power and also more comfort, since two days of 8+ hours in its saddle really weren't comfortable on my Brixton Cromwell 125. Once I've got my next bike I really want to do a proper tour through Austria.

Planning a ride round Scotland for next year then back to my big plan to tour Europe which I was going to do when covid struck. Those wet windy days really can get you down which is what made me go from unfaired bikes to big faired bikes (st1100, st1300) and I couldn't recomend more, Goretex gear.
