The car and I are both ready. I've checked it over from front to back and everything is shipshape and Bristol fashion. I'm reluctant to do any more fiddling as Sod's Law dictates that I'll bugger something up. I've got plenty of spares and tools on board and just need to chuck in my luggage and a flask and we're all set.
I'm still waiting for a very nice man in China to send me a 6v to 12v step up converter so I can power uo the GPS and my phone whilst on the move, but if not I will resort to the paper option and look at a map.
My first day's run is reasonably long, so I can get as near to the Pyrennees as possible for day 2. It means a run of 260 miles but I shall be keeping to the coastal plain and flat ground in order to maintain a decent average speed. It'll be a long day but I've been further than that in one go so I know it's possible.
