Bicycle and equipment:-
Ensure that your bicycle is in good condition, especially tyres and brakes. You should carry spares, a pump and a simple tool kit to cope with punctures and minor repairs. A light mountain bike or touring bike will be suitable for this holiday, and we recommend tyres of at least 32mm. Some short sections of the trails can be quite rough. Lights will be needed for the many tunnels.
Passports:-
N.B. Since Brexit, passport requirements have changed. Please read the following carefully.
Your passport must have at least six months to run after the last day of your holiday, excluding extensions, i.e. no more than 9 and a half years since issue. Ensure that you apply for a new passport, if necessary, in good time.
Brexit. If you are a frequent traveller please be aware that UK citizens are now restricted to 90 days in a rolling 180 period in Schengen Zone countries. Make sure that your visit does not exceed this limit as the penalties can be severe - a fine, deportation or even a ban from entering a Schengen country again! UK passports are now being stamped on the way in and out.
Health and insurance:-
As well as an EHIC (or new GHIC) card, you must have travel insurance. It is strongly recommended that you take out insurance on booking your holiday, so that if you need to cancel, you may be able to claim the cancellation charges.
