Moving the plan forward

We hope to leave the shores of the UK in mid September, catching a ferry to Spain and driving down, through Spain to catch another ferry across to Morocco.

Before leaving Blighty there will be a send-off in Mendip with a final weekend in the Hunter's and a birthday barrel for John :-)

The vehicles we shall use will be a Land Rover Defender 110 Hardtop and a BMW F650cs bike. The Defender has been rebuilt on a galvanised chasis and has had an additional fuel tank fitted for extended range. The bike is, at present, pretty standard.

We gave the Landie a trial run at christmas to Poland and Hungary. 3000 miles in 10 days was a good test for the machine and drivers!
