How is the boot device, have you still got your luggage?..... I did think of an alternative, you could even fit the kitchen sink in it :rofl:

Stuart, the 'Trip-Skip' comes naturally in Atacama Yellow... so, no repaint cost and you can also use it for advertising which will compensate for any potential modifications! :rofl:

    Got woken up at 5am this morning as the ferry arrived in Roscoff

    Ferry was busy but very quick and easy to get off and out of the port .. French passport control was no hassle at all

    Weather a bit crap but took a lovely road out of Roscoff the D769 after filling the car for €1.45 litre (£1.25) then passed another station selling it for €1.37 (£1.18)

    Now found a McD’s ( not an Andy but a Ronald ) and having some brekkie somewhere north west of Rennes

    Weather picking up nicely though

    Got as far as the Loire … weather improved and currently 29*

    Lovely drive down on the back roads avoiding the man in roads and motorways

    Some real stunning little villages

    Just stopped for some lunch alongside the river

    Low French speed limits and gorgeous scenery to look at means 37mpg .. not a normal zed run

    I’m about half an hour from our overnight stop and meeting the rest of the guys
