Have a great trip,
Don't for get you'll need a hi viz tabnbard for framnce as they are noe compulsery as is a spare set of bulbs.
A small £10 Wilko/Morrisons compressor, a puncture repair kit is useless unless to have something to pump it back up
Don't forget an adaptor to allow Micro SD Cards to be read in a standard SD Card slot on your Laptop/Notepad.
External WiFi Antenna can be useful to boost the reception power of your portable PC in camp sites which have free WiFi.
Don't forget some Canesten cream ........... for life's little infections like crotch rot and athletes foot Hopefully thrush and cystitis won't be travelling with you.

Ha. Cheers Dave. A pal who is a nurse has tailor made a medical kit for me,...
Sorry Dave but they are NOT compulsary, despite what the ferry companies might say.
Advisable yes, for breakdowns etc but thats it.
This is an accurate and up to date summary

..keep reminding yourself: "It's not a job. There's no schedule and no obligation to be on time"..... sleep-in... stay up late...just do what you want to..
oh.. and special thanks to Fanum and gavinbell for their PMs. Nice one
There really are some solid folks around here..
... It's going to be, and already is I suppose, very odd not running to all of the crazy deadlines, working silly hours, having planned weekends ruined.. etc etc.
So you just won't believe how much I am going to do that mate..
I had a moment like that too, walking across the bridge in Istanbul with a pack on my back as a spotty youth long, long, ago. 43 years ago.Though my trip was small by comparison (month long/ Honda C90 / To Gambia ),
at one point somewhere in the middle of the Western Sahara, i sat at the edge of my tent looking at where the fuck i was.
And it sank in...
I felt this slightly deranged grin spread across my face and a little glow in my heart and just a touch of adrenalin.
I hope you get that moment too.
