Morocco April 2014

So that should be about £110 in France and then £60 in Morocco which is why we have a couple of jerry cans to try to save fuel cost on the way back.

I'll fill Larry up tomorrow and see how much that costs these days :-(

We'll be filling up tomorrow to try work out how much it's gonna cost, and what mega high mpg we'll be getting.

Have already told bank to re-mortgage the house.

About this time in three weeks I should be having lunch with SpaceDawg somewhere in Bordeaux or just inside Spain.

All final names and also some notes on the kit list, now extended for the dune are on Land Rover Discovery 1 300TD, overland preparation and modifications: Morocco Overland 4x4 Trip (Landyzone April 2014)

I will get the better half to document the route list and distribute it so we can get it onto our nav devices.

Under 3 weeks to go now....

I think me and Adam might start renting out storage space.I can see either stella or red wine been the curency of choice

SpaceDawg · Mar 28, 2014

I'll be loading the car this time in two weeks. I just want to get on with it now...

I wander if I connect the CB antenna to the tent frame if I would get a better reception?

3extruckers · Mar 31, 2014

Hope you all have an awesome time

It's a great country to tour

Did a oil change, checked diffs, gear box and transfer box, surprising what a difference a half a liter of oil in the transfer box makes. Greased up the prop shafts. Checked all the other levels. Ordered a spare Air filter. Have now started chucking stuff in the back like spare ball joints, diesel filter etc. Think I am gradually getting there.

I check my transfer box level every 1000 km's or so !

It's amazing how much oil you lose out of a leaking box when your hammering it down to the south of Spain !!

Hope that you all have a great trip !!
