DiscoDuncs World Tour of France and Spain.
Off to Spain (Sucina, Murcia) on thursday evening via France.
Catching the 20:00 shuttle on thursday eve (14th), will then drive for as long as we can then sleep in the car. Hoping to get down to Milau or Narbonne by Friday PM (via Paris, Orleans and Clermont Ferrand) where we will camp somewhere (oztent all ready ) DiscoPoppy is coming as well
Saturday AM off down to Spain via Perpignon, Barcelona, Valencia, and Alicante. Going to stick to the coast all the way down, probably via the A7 and N332.
I'm not sure where we will get to each day but intended to take about 4 days to get down there (1400miles). Done it in 24hours before but I'm going to take it a little easier this time.
If we pass any of our spanish and french friends on the way down it would be good to meet up for a beer, vino or a few tapas
Had the 90k service done and the car checked out so hopefully no problems.
Cant wait. It'll be the first proper break Ive had in two years Duncan

Have done similar route many years ago down to Alicante - fantasic, sure you'll enjoy it.
Good luck and fair weather LRs are a fond memory, apart from the maintenance.
