Bit slow to get back to this... Thanks for all the kind words people. I think it's shit and was meant to get round to editing it post adrenaline rush.
@platypus I wrote all my routes on Strava in advance but found my phone signal/internet wasn't unlocked abroad and could only unlock it by getting 3 mobile to text me an unlock code - which doesn't work when you don't have any signal. I ended up doing ridewithgps maps on the go. It was good but depending on the quality of wifi where you're staying can take a hella long time to download onto your phone. I'd say ridewithgps in advance and a powerpack to top up battery is plenty enough.
