European long-distance paths cross Europe many times over. From north to south or west to east or whatever you want, you’ll find a path. Those paths are designated by the European Ramblers’ Association and seem (in principle) very nice.

Unfortunately, following these paths, I no longer get a straight line from point A to point B like in my first post about the route. But that was just a rough estimate. It was quite dumb actually =). Should I walk faster and finish the journey in 3 months or walk normally and probably take one month longer?

Anyways, I’m still in doubt where to start from. Pointe du Raz is the starting point of E5. It looks nice in Google Maps, maybe I can start from there?

Or I could start the Coastal Path E9 in Brest or Nantes. But starting in a city seems less fun than at Pointe du Raz. Also, in E9, it’s just coast all along, I might get bored…

So, should I start in E5 or  E9?
