The closest we get to a motorway is the 3 miles for the Dartford crossing, no motorways, no Dual carriageway, only single A and B roads 8-)

Loving your tour. I hope all goes well for you. Are you in Cromer this Friday? As I'm only just up the road from you so may be able to pop up and see you?
Nick.
Hi Nick we should be hitting Cromer mid afternoon on Saturday 15th, and camping at Weybourne, so happy to meet up if your about?

I'm back at work on the Saturday so won't be able to make it I'm afraid. But I hope you'll do regular updates on here or a report when you have finished as I'd love to know how it went for you. :?:

On Jogle I wore old shirts I really never wore much any more and old pants and socks.
I discarded a "set" each day and thus made my load lighter on a daily basis.

That's what we're doing, it's amazing the amount of space that pants and socks take up :D

4 day traditional budgie smuggler rotation - uses little space.

You can try washing them as you go you know........ :roll:
