It may seem like stating the obvious, and perhaps a belated discovery, but it is much nicer to cycle in warm weather. The contrast struck me when cycling through some of the places Bike and I had visited in France on the way out..
Back in February, finding a place to wild camp was a cold desperate hunt before darkness fell like a shutter. Now it is a matter of which wooded glade to choose, and at our leisure.

So if you decide to undertake this trip, then start about late April when the balmy days begin and before the glades get too crowded.

Except for the UK that is, where I have just spent the coldest night of all just outside Dover. Here you should give it another month or two.
