Hi, I'm planning to cycle to Venice, Italy, in July, from Colchester Essex. Any ideas on the best route after Folkestone? I'm not the best cyclist, though I will be doing lots of training, and at 15 stone plus my baggage, I'd prefer not to get lost in Switzerland! I was thinking cycling roughly south down the length of France, and then over to Turin from there.

Has anyone done a similar thing? Also, info on how much money you'd need (camping) and any problems people have encountered.
Thanks
Oily
