Suffice to say, my trip to Austria is almost upon me. Ginny has had a wash, after getting covered in muck on the Spain trip and tomorrow I shall be checking her oil level and tyre pressures. I've already started my packing, though at the moment that amounts to the paperwork and some electrical bits. Tuesday will be my main packing day. I'll be checking the weather forecast first though. My wet weather gloves and boots have had a dubbin type polish, so at least I'll look presentable when the heavens open, which I'm sure they will at some point.
I'm booked on the 09:20 tunnel crossing on Wednesday, so I'll be leaving home about 2 hours beforehand. I'll be making the usual stop at the Tesco fuel station, just off J10 on the M20, so I can just crack on, once on the other side. That's about 10 miles from the tunnel. Hopefully everything will be running on time. If so, I will arrive in Calais at 10:55.
My first overnighter is in a place called Weibersbrunn, in Germany. It's about 410 miles from the tunnel. I'm expecting it to take me until about 18:00, maybe later, depending on number of stops and time off the bike but there'll be no sightseeing or non motorway riding this time. Ginny and I shall be focused on mile munching, which after all, is what she does best.
Make sure you check back on Wednesday for the first on road updates.
