Thought it might be worthwhile putting this up here. It's in amazing condition apart from a couple of dings and it plays/sounds fantastic. I'm in SE1 but I'm willing to deliver if needed and you're not too far.
Looking for £290 and that includes a neoprene strap and a Fender Deluxe Gig Bag. They cost over £550 online at the minute and the fiesta red model appears to be unavailable anywhere so it's becoming quite a rarity.
Quick sale needed hence the low price.

I managed to spend about £50 on a bike which got me to Slovenia very nicely.
Beats my 20 year old Muddy Fox (£75) that went 2000 miles across Europe last summer.
@ the OP: Check out the CTC forum for good advice.

In need of a new bag for work ASAP. If volklwaffen doesn't take this I'm offering 110.

Got a couple of tickets in one go last night and the copper actually mentioned this programme as he was giving me the lecture.

figuring out where you are starting from is the bigger problem.
If you're using an A-Z simply stop at a junction where you can see both street names.

It's easy to get a bit obsessive in the planning stage. My advice would be to take as little as possible and don't plan the route too much. I landed in Dunkirk with only 2 pages printed off GoogleMaps of the local area. Got completely lost that first day before picking up a free map from a tourist place on the second which kept me going for another 5 days before getting a decent road map. Plus the bike was a 20 year old mountain bike with knobbly fucking tires on... [shakes head]
Get decent racks/panniers and make sure whatever bike you use is in good shape. Don't buy into the massive gear-fest of buying gadgets and things that you won't really need. For example, I took a lightweight stove but never used it because I found it too much of a chore to make a meal so just lived off fruit,baguettes, cheese/ham sandwiches, croissants, yoghurt, cereal and chocolate. I would have appreciated the saved space/weight a lot more in that case.
A compass is really useful though.
Any questions drop me a PM.

Cheers. I briefly passed through Belgium on the way to Maastrict and it would be good to explore it a little more someday. Go with a tent though. Much better suited to your journey.

sorry for the late reply mate, haven't checked this for a while.
I stealth/gypsy camped all the way (France-Austria via Czech Rep.) Check out my profile for the [ahem] 'blog'. The hammock has pro's and cons. It packs down small, there's no poles and it goes up very easily. It can be comfortable but it takes some getting used to in my experience. You will still need a mat because mosquitoes can bite through and being off the ground means you will lose heat quicker so having a layer there is pretty essential. I slept in graveyards, public parks, playgrounds, sports fields etc. when wooded areas weren't available and you learn to recognise good sleeping spots after some time.
Where are you planning on going?

I used a hennessy hammock on my bike tour across Europe this summer. They're pretty ace. You get to sleep in cool places like this:
