... and still planning...

Planning for the trip goes on; Travel Insurance done, Int'l Driving Permit obtained, Overnight accommadation sorted for Folkstone (prior to taking the Metal Rabbit to France), Chunnel ticket sorted.

I had purchased an aluminium box from the internet (Ex MOD) for 6 months ago but it was too tall - so I asked a friend on mind, as he is a fabricator, to had a look.  Brilliant job - cut down to size with new bottom piece welded on - now is looks the business.

Still need to find a place for the small ammo box that serve as my tool box - not that I could fix anything - but I might need them to open tins of soup etc...... 

Saw a presentation the other day from a friend that spent 7 weeks visiting 14 counties in Europe.  He had a wonderful little device called a Free Loader - which is a Solar Powered Battery charger - very neat - found one on EBay - all sorted.......

Bike in for another service and MOT in early March.   Will have to have new tyres too before the "Poland and Beyond" Trip.....
