Makes me wish I had a pre A. Sounds like a fabulous trip. A lovely part of the world.

Have a great time, and take plenty of pics and give us a full report!

Are you driving the whole way?! And back? 8)

Am setting off tomorrow for this after a last minute change to my ferry booking.
The Portsmouth-Santander ferry I was to catch tomorrow has been cancelled (damn you spanish people and your strikes), so now I'm going Portsmouth-St Malo and driving down!
Hopefully I'll make it.

I use tapatalk to link to DDK when using the iPhone but no doubt you will have plenty to think about without setting that up.

Even a daily written blog of your journey/route would be nice just to get a 'feel' for how you are getting on, weather, how the car is running, how much wine you have drunk etc :P

You know how we all love a continental trip! Pics would be a bonus.

Regards
Mike

Ok, I'll step up to the plate.
Not sure how many photos I will post, but will get the photobucket app and see how it works.
Will have some photos for you when I get back.

didn't realise tapatalk could host photos . Are they stored indefinitely with tapatalk ?
