Some nifty links

Here's a list of webpages I've found useful (this page will be updated):

Before traveling in Europe I like to calculate my journeys by using the Michelin search engine. From experience, the distances usually take less time to cover than what Michelin will have you believe. Notice: I will not accept responsibility for delays due to traffic jams, weather conditions or outbreak of civil war or anything else that may pop up along the way unless I've caused it personally.

Handy sites for finding travel companions:
http://www.hitchhikers.org/ has postings for drivers, but not for hikers. Only place I've ever received serious replies.
http://www.solotraveller.com/ has a message board and is searchable by many criteria.
http://www.travel-companion.net/ has message boards. Free, but some spam.
http://www.budgettravel.com/add-hm.htm has message boards. Free, but very plain.

(Do NOT use http://www.travelchums.com nor http://www.cstn.org/ - they will not allow you to communicate with others and they will ERASE your contact info (emails, phone numbers, home page) if you provide any in your "free" ad. Thus, there is no intelligible info to be had there. They do this to suck you dry by forcing you to use their heavily priced contact services.)
