We have actually made it out of the Uk at last.

We got the ferry from Harwich to Rotterdam as we needed to pick up a spare tyre in Holland. We could not get the size we need second hand in the UK. And as its a spare spare we decided to go this way. We have freinds in Rotterdam so this route worked well. Its supprisingly easy to leave the UK with a dog, but he wasnt too impressed with the ferry journey.

Having collected the tyre we are now in Germany as the new radiator has not fixed the over heating problem. We have now had a new viscous fan coupling fitted at great expense, so we hope this will sort it out. There were some big long hill climbs around Koln which had us worried, its frustrating having problems so early on with a truck that hasnt done many km,s but thats life.

We are getting used to living in the space we have made, and will post photos when not sat at an internet booth..

We head to France at the weekend and south..
