Do not get a new bike. £600-£700 on a new tourer will get you something very basic. The parts like wheels rims & drivetrain which you want to be super reliable/durable will be very basic stuff on a OTP new bike. Decent new tourers expensive.
Instead get a nice quality steel bike from ebay or CTC forum. Second hand you could get something extremely well specced and built around a quality frame like a bob jackson or something.
