Well that's the van loaded up ready to go first thing in the morning. Taken most of the day to make sure everything is where we can get at it, although we've tried to put in very little more than we would take for two weeks, Still, I'm thinking a visit to the weighbridge on the way out might not come amiss.....

Last thing to load was the bikes and I've noticed a tendency for the big bike to keep throwing it's chain. Then I saw that the chain wheel was not running true, followed by ominous looking scratches on the rack where it may well have been rubbing/banging on our previous trip. Oh dear!
But it's now almost dark and raining so on the basis I can usually fix most things it's all tied on, complete with nice shiny new number plate and the chevron board, which needs to be fixed with lines pointing down to the left, so I saw on the MHF forum. Finally also remembered the locking chain!

Now sat at the computer getting last minute info, weather forecasts etc.

NOTE: Seems to be something wrong with the times of posting. I've got an idea it's on something like New York time - no doubt there's a button somewhere I can fix that. (Found it!) (No I haven't, it's set to Pacific Standard Time - have another look)
