Departure day -1
Given up on mending fridge door, will be careful about locking it, considerate about overloading the door and blame Bev should it still come off in transit
We are off on Tuesday morning, chunnel booked for 18:00, weather forecast looks like it will be an interesting drive down, at least wind behind though
Have made first route decision to go south on M25 to avoid possible bridge closure and toll as well, small bonus
Checked gas today to be sure on best quantities, we depend on Calor, so running out not ideal, looks like I left heating on gas after Pauls meet, just as well I checked, one empty cylinder already, only changed it at meet! still best that we know and it has now been replaced, so we will set of with 19kg of Calor, planning on 50/50 sites / aires so will monitor carefully without being overly careful
Route is generally straight down France to Biarritz, route not fixed aires not chosen, will probably overnight in Bayonne on a site we have used before to top up before the Spanish bit, only got three weeks, so one week to get there one week there with a very good recently widowed friend, one week to get back
Updates to follow, hopefully daily, depending of success of mifi and wifi boosters purchased at Lincoln from motorhome wifi
