In the beginning...

OK - deep breath.

The Camel Trophy Owners Club have 2 European trips organised for this summer, one to the Pyrenees setting off on the 2nd of August, and one to Morrocco setting off on the 11th of August.

After much humming and arring Martin (farmerboy2ky - I think ) and I decided that we would go on the Morrocco trip. After some research it turns out the ferry was going to be, around £900 return trip (Portsmouth to Bilbao).

Then some bright spark, Ian (Discocam), suggested "why not go from Dover a week earlier and travel to the Pyrenees first?" - ferry from Dover to Calais £70, return trip about the same, leaving £760 to spend on fuel, camping, and glowy things.

Quick call to Martin... buggar it, that's what we'll do.


So - watch this space as we plan, panic, strip down, panic, rebuilt, panic, and generally prep my CT Disco "Jason" - and hopefully have a really good adventure.

Anyone who has experience of traveling in these areas, or any tips, must see places, please shout up.
