Have a good one

I always like to leave it until later in the year, off there early Sept, as there is no risk of too much water being around then

 

[froggy Steve]

Not much to report regarding pre-trip/preparation really. After the truck was shipped back from Iceland it then sat on the drive till December, I then took it for a quick trip to Overland Cruisers for a service and a few outstanding jobs to be done. The main jobs were full service, front callipers overhauled, new pads all round, a couple of prop UJ’s, a shock absorber and a new set of tyres.

Beer…….. don’t worry, all I will say is I have sufficient stock.

Not a trip report, but rather a few photos and the odd comment.

Due to bad weather in the bay of Biscay, Brittany Ferries decided to cancel my ferry......... meaning the long drive through France.
