We have had a visit from a couple of David & Mildred's friends who regularly do what we plan. They opened our eyes- we now realise we need a lot more tackle than we thought, a roof tent, which we have ordered, and a roof rack with all the trimmings- petrol cans, spare wheels. Phew! I don't know whether the bank account will survive.
Today we fitted the roof rack, which is superb, and after taking the back seats out yesterday I started on building in drawers and boxes in the back of the car. We now have a two seater! We now think that we won't get away till the back end of next week, we have a fridge and a cooler to buy yet, as well as a table and chairs.
Our next challenge is when the tent arrives and fitting it to the roof rack- we will be sleeping on top of the car. We had intended just to take a tent, but it seems the animals round here enjoy a bit of human flesh, so it wasn't recommended. Hey-ho-What fun!
We need a name for the car, registration is 1BTA969, so we thought maybe Brutas, or anyway up. However we are asking you to think one up please and post it in the comments section on here. There is a prize for the best one, we won't come and see you for the next nine months!
