So we’ve been having a few problems. Actually I don´t quite live up to the bush mechanic lifestyle that I’m embarking on for the next few months… However, the beard is growing nicely. Well actually we’ve had a few wins recently. We managed to change and inner tube successfully. Now,…

So finally we get moving again. It´s been lovely hanging around in Geneva and catching up with Sarah but it´s time to hit the road again. Only this time we have a passenger. Bex has decided to join us for a couple of days as unfortunately Sarah has had to…

It’s been a while since we’ve updated the site so here’s a quick run-down of what’s been happening. Footloose finished of the last of the preparation this week so we’re more of less ready. The roof tent is on, the awning is on the side and the fridge has been…
