@anidel Never go Sandean. They grossly overcharge. Try Aperture. Saying that, the camera seems to go for <£50 on ebay so it still might not be worth it.

@chrisbmx116. I'm assuming you want exposed floorboards? Unless the floorboards are in really bad condition you shouldn't need to replace them. It's amazing what a sanding can do.
I wanted exposed floorboards but had quite large draughty gaps so I ripped them up. First one was hardest but after that you can take a mallet to them from underneath. Once they were all up I took the opportunity to staple some insulation under the joists. When nailing the boards back down I hired a floorboard clamp https://www.hss.com/hire/p/floor-board-clamp to squeeze the boards together thus eliminating gaps. Doing this you will be left with a residual gap that will be narrower than a floorboard so you will need to source an extra floorboard for that.
Whatever you do, as a courtesy thing let the neighbours know as its f**king loud!
I did Świnoujście (Seaside resort town close to German border) to Hel (Gdansk) in May. Was a nice mixture of mostly tarmac and dirt roads/gravel/cobble. It's not a mega distance but meant we could have plenty of stops. Plenty of forest but definitely no mountains.
Funnily enough, just read on Wiki last night about the Trail of Eagles Nests which is a route that takes in 25 castles. Ends in Krakow so might be a good one although its less than 200km so might need to be extended.
