OK - some people are asking when our blog will be on line and all I can say is that we are working on it!
Thee is lots to be collated and placed here - but at the same time there are lots of other resource hungry activities happening; however, we are getting there!
Apologies for the current state - we will get there within days!

Surely this car will have travelled furthers (on its own wheels) - here outside Stornoway, Isle of Lewis!
By this point in the planning we really should have everything buttoned down - but we haven't!
So what needs to be done:
- Declare the route? Well that's not so easy - there is so much uncertainty about charging (availability and performance). Ideally we should be able to chain a series of CHAdeMO Rapid Chargers and the rest should be easy. However there is no single repository of that shows all the points with a defintion of ownership and access means. Risk!
- Book the hotels? Well if we knew with precision, where we would be on each night, that would be easy? So no action there? More Risk!
- Book the Cross Channel Ferry Yes we have booked that certainly; however having been told that next Thur is Public holiday in Belgium, France and Germany - we know that all garage located charging will be unavailable! Completely screwed!
So today plan(+/-) is not to have a plan - but simply to wing-it!
So today Thurs we are going over the inventory of kit that we have to take - see it listed and illustrated on the Equipment Tab!
- 1 x Charging Cable Type 2 /J1772 Cable (UK standard Fast Charge Cable);
- 1 x Charging Cable Schuko /J1772 Cable (European Domestic and Public charging cables) - donated by Charge Amps;
