A Busy 48 hours

Joules would like to add that it was a very stressful 48 hours.

By this we mean train vs. motorhome vs. train vs. motorhome... you get the picture!

Several things have been sort of sorted for the ride over the past day or so. We have sourced a motorhome as a support vehicle and Joules' Dad has agreed to be our support driver on the ride.

One of the consequences of this is that the date for the ride is being brought forward. It will now be the 14th to the 29th May to fit in more easily with the motorhome hire people, South West Motorhomes - Thank you very much for their help, I have added a link to them, and and particularly Sarah Foord for her help.

We have also plotted the route on a map. This started life as a road atlas, now it is a series of laminated sheets we can use on the ride. The route has been highlighted and each page will be discarded with great ceremony and pleasure!

Joules says, after several glasses of wine! (For those that know her one is more than enough), the wedding was far easier to organise in eight days than this is in eight weeks!

Richard also added today that he thinks he needs to up his training. Joules is already doing enough for both of them and he is feeling a bit guilty about this...

Joules adds - get off your backside then! (that's the wine speaking!)

So, we now have a route, transport, accommodation, cooking facilities, emergency backup. It really feels like its happening now.
