The plan for 2018 - UK, Europe, UK. Then fly to Thailand (mid September).
January- A full mechanical service with a new cambelt.
The engine has performed well and the new cam-belt is simply preventative maintenance. Mileage is only 40,000 but the vehicle is 12 years old.

Finally west through Germany then Belgium and France before "tunnelling" back to UK.
