AVAN ON THE MOVE AGAIN


.......well from the side of my daughters house here in down town Townsville to well, the front driveway of my daughters house here in down town Townsville. That would have to be some sort of record I reckon for distance travelled in one day.

Once in the driveway I can then give it a good clean and a once over in readiness for departure 4/8 back to Mexico. I will hand back the responsibility of banana bending to the local natives who are more than capable. 

If you read my updates stay tuned during the week for my next instalment. Yep, another month done and dusted here in the tropics.

Wombat mate, I don't even know where I am today let alone one day to the next.

I will make two rest stops in the 15mtr journey so I don't over do it.

Yes any redirection of mail and address changes for my 4 month stay have been changed back now to base camp for the time being. I will ring each Friday to get mail redirected to a nominated location until my return late August/early September.

I will still complete the application for the record sirW cos the last 3mts are on tarmac. Also and as well even, when hooked up to the Collie mate it can be classed as going off road so still eligible.

Sounds like a stress less trip Doug! You know what the astronauts said about "one small step".......

Keep it secured well from any low lifes "passing by"!

 You need to take it easy Doug. No need to overdo things at our age. smile

Wow Doug,

I am glad to see a true guru, setting a standard we are not having trouble imitating, and I thought we were moving too slow.

 

Also notice that Mr W has a problem with a female deer with a cold, makes such a mess of the keyboard!
