we spent a good part of today adjusting the front beam up a notch[now highest]
and finding a pair of shocks to match,
and after gettin proper bolts for shocks.
one tyre developed 2 bulges on the sidewall on wy down from hamburg,
we put the spare on that.the other side is showin thread on side,may have to replace in uk.
BIG THANKS TO RED NINE DESIGN for takin a couple off their products
and donating them to our cause...
coxy called over to us a few times to try and blag tea.
we left there about 7pm
and are at dunkerk waitin for the 4am.

the old writing could have been better
done when tired and a bit rushed.
pity we couldnt add pics at the same time.
but im sure jon will add some in next few days.

the highlights were def germany for me

hi all .
as pete has said i have taken a few pics and i will start loading them when i get home
it has indeed been an epic adventure with a few mishaps along the way but nothing that we could not fix
and after all these are the things that turn a trip into an adventure lol. its just a pity that it has to come to an end .
