Hello and thanks for visiting our site. This form is all about trying to help each other to plan flightless travel routes. If you have any queries just post them under the most relevant heading and I will give you my thoughts where I can. If you have got any answers to queries that other members have posted we would love to hear from you.

If you think that we could make some improvements to the site, please let me know via [email protected]. If you have done any flightless trips already we would love it if you could add these to our site just go to http://www.flightlesstravel.com/rate.

Sorry about the separate log-in for this section of the site and all the security checks –it’s the only way we can stop the form for being spammed! We’re looking a developing a more refined system in the future along with 101 other ideas for the site! We’ll get there in the end!


Happy Travels.

Hello All,

Just a quick message to introduce myself - I was recommended your site from Rod, Go Lower. Me and my boyfriend are leaving on Saturday to go on our round the world trip. We do have some flights included in our itinary but a lot is going to be overland travel. Our itinary as it stands is UK to Delhi then overland travel to Singapore, flight to Perth - overland travel to Sydney, flight to Christchurch - overland / sea to Auckland, flight to santiago and overland travel around South America then flight from Rio back to UK. The plan is to be away for around 8 months.

Xx

Hello. Just wanted to say that we think the website is a great idea and to wish you all the best. Recently went by train from London to Palermo and had a wonderfully enjoyable trip.

Hello Tom. We live in the countryside near Cupar. My wife met you at a farmers market there not too long ago. A couple of questions I have - I am going to Bordeaux in August and would rather not fly - can you advise best alternative? Also we have a number of renewable energy pieces of equipment here at home and I wondered if you would be interested in seeing them - we have PV and solar panels, air source heat pumps and we have just put up a wind turbine. best wishes, Stewart

Stewart,

For your trip to Bordeaux the best bet is probably getting the train to London and then EuroStar to France. If you book early this is probably the cheapest and most comfortable and relaxing option. We did it to Avignon last year and spent a couple of nights in London on the way through. As for renewables (my day job!), I'll drop you an email.

Best regards

Tom
