It's That Time Again


My hair and clothes yearn to smell of diesel and my eyes ache for roads beyond these borders.
The sun's considering poking his head around the door, and Burtdad's already been on a jolly, so it's time to start preparing Burt for the next trip.

I have a destination, this time; a place I haven't seen much of, since wanderlust kicked in, and it's a good three-to-four days from here, so I need to do some prep. Besides having a poke around in the engine bay, to make sure things are still ticking over nicely, I've got a few rush updates to make to the interior, and I'll need to demilitarize the area, too. Some places are so fickle.

Pre-Trip Checks


Before I start documenting my adventure, I've made sure to do some fitness checks. If you're about to take a trip, I suggest you do them, too.

Check out my article, Check Your Levels, to see what you should be checking, so you can make sure that your wagon is good to go (so you don't fine out otherwise, when you're a long way from home).

The Adventure Begins...


This time, I'm not taking my sweet time, drifting from one place to another, picking up little stories and pictures along the way. This time, I've made a bee-line to Dunkerque, where I'll catch a ferry to England, and that's where my adventure will really begin. As I pick up adventures, I'll be making a start on Stories From The Road series 3, and by the time I return, I expect it to be fairly chunky and packed with laughs...

Check back soon!
