“Calling at Folkestone, Coquelles, Chaumont, Caprie, and Forli before arriving at Ancona…” followed by overnight accommodation on Superfast Ferries to Igoumenitsa then onto Paleros.
A month there and then home again, bronzed and skint.
So we have:
Bike serviced and newly shod with Michelin’s finest. Clothing laid out prior to culling thus reducing the load to manageable levels.
Lots of ‘we must take this’ equipment sat to one side (see ‘culling’ above).
Euros, cards, passports, recovery/medical insurance
V5/MOT/ins packed in tankbag along with LeShuttle and ferry tickets, plus all docs backed up in phone of course.
Toll blipper thingy.
Acres of pills and potions
, the joys of old age! Contacts and spare specs.Charging leads and adapter… etc., etc.
The list goes on and on… but I know from experience that I’ll forget some damned thing!
Every year we set off, and on our return promise that we’ll look at the stuff we’ve taken and not used, and also promise to make a list of what we need to take for the next time. Needless to say we’ve done neither in the last 15 years of our travels.
So, just out of interest does anyone out there ever do these lists or have a special routine for pre-travel packing, or is it my OCD kicking in again?
and the last I’ll see of the blipper is as it disappears over my shoulder at high speed!
Do you put your videos on You tube? If so a link pls!
