France & Spain trip

All nearly packed, just a few bits to put in now. We do not go until Saturday evening but I like to make sure it all fits in. We are travelling down to Plymouth and getting the ferry at 08-00 on Sunday morning over to Roscoff. We arrive at 15-00 and will then travel about 20miles or so to Brignogan Plages where I have booked us into a campsite overnight. We will then set off and meander our way down through France and into Spain. We are in no hurry as we have 3 weeks and I don't like staying in one place for too long. We will definitely stay on the Ile de Re near La Rochelle on the way down. My wife Deb is looking forward to the trip but is a little apprehensive about the car, she has never really liked it and thinks its a waste of money and an expensive hobby that breaks down a lot when compared to her Nissan Micra Shocked . I am hoping the old lad does not let me down and shows what a comfortable versatile car he really is. I will post pics as I go now I have found out that my unlimited calls,texts and data can be used in Europe Very Happy Fingers crossed for the old lad Thumbs Up

Don't forget the secret hidey-hole under the second row of seats to stash the vino plonko on the way back!

I blew an inverter trying to run a set of straighteners for SWMBO, even though the engine was on and the inverter was apparently good for it Sad

Anyway - Have a great trip Mark!! Can't wait to keep an eye on the thread as you go along Thumbs Up
