Similar route to us, we'll be heading through nantes and la rochelle to bordeaux.

Were going to try to meet up with Mr Scuba on Saturday morning just south of Bordeaux, for tiffins.

Then drive the day to somewhere south of Salamanca, Calle Capellanías for example.

Then a quick start on Sunday getting to the ticket seller by 2pm latest. This will however mean driving for 12 hours on Saturday so were heading out at 6am.

The camaraderie of not enjoying yourself when the other is grafting - good to know we will not be like the Topgear chaps and leave a man behind in the desert!!.

Getting in training for Morocco. Had to drive to Belgium and back yesterday. 18 hours driving with a hour stop for some lunch. That was in a Mercedes Sprinter, not sure I would be feeling the same if it was in the Defender.
Hope you guys have a good meet up today, wish I could be there with you. Instead I will be getting ****ed here for less than half the price.

SpaceDawg · Mar 15, 2014

Not today, next weekend, you still have time

mikescuba · Mar 15, 2014

What do you think my friend is coming along for.

Took the 110 on the road for the first time since December to fill with fuel for the trip - £132.27 - expensive fuel here.
