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.

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

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 !!
