It’s just 2 weeks until we set off to Morocco, Lillian is ready, she has had her service and is good to go, Trundling Jack is sorting out his must have tools, another job Trundling Jack has to do at the weekend is fit the CB Radio and fit Flatdog’s jerry can holder.

I’ve been busy sorting all the documents and organising all the equipment we need to take. I came up with the idea to put our clothes into vacuum bags I’ve got some that you roll to expel the air, we’ll see how that idea works, my thought was at least I wouldn’t be rummaging in a bag, I’ll report how successful the idea was.

When we arrive in Santander we then travel down to San Roque, we’ve been advised by Barrie of Waypoint Tours  to drive a few hours then use one the roadside hotels, must be the Ex Travel Consultant in me I like to know what’s available, Google is such a handy tool and I found ViaMichelin, a great websites, easy to use, gives route options, mileage, cost of the drive and above all hotels with approximate cost and a booking facility, I’m sure European Adventurers know about ViaMichelin but if you don’t well that’s the tip.

No doubt I’ll find plenty to do in the next two weeks, I’ll keep you posted.

Lillian our Discovery 2 at Flatdog

It’s always busy at Flatdog

A very damp Robin Hoods Bay

We thought a good idea to test Lillian our Discovery 2 on a decent trip before we head off on our Trundle Through Africa next year,  we had a search and found Waypoint Tours, the reviews were excellent and we don’t think we will be disappointed as Barrie at Waypoint is very efficient and keeps you up to date with all the travel arrangements, he also sends great footage of ongoing tours mostly taken by Overlanders and we will be using our GoPro, hopefully I’ll be able to post our footage too.

It’s now just a few weeks until we head off to Morocco with Waypoint Tours, Lillian our Discovery 2 is ready for the adventure mainly due to the amazing guys at Flatdog, should any of you adventurer’s out there want great work done by even greater guys then head off to Gainsborough to Flatdog, you can’t get better service and nothing is too much trouble for them.

We tested the ARB Roof Tent at Robin Hoods Bay earlier in the year, it’s definitely waterproof as it poured it down, the ARB awning was more than useful, we bought ARB chairs really comfortable, all our other camping equipment worked well too with no disasters.

We leave from Portsmouth to Santander then travel down through Spain, from there I will post our adventure we hope you enjoy our High Atlas and Sahara Adventure as much as we’re going too.
