After a trying few days vehicle wise, we can finally settle down ready to travel west in the early hours. The original plan had been to go down in the T25 but with one or two things ideally needed to be done 'underneath', we've opted to use the beamer once more. This in itself has been a fraught choice what with some last minute concerns; I'll illucidate.

With the acquisition of the veedub, the initial idea was to get shot of the beamer. With this in mind, and in the knowledge we may have to auction or break for spares as it's secondhand value is minimal, we've put off replacing the rear brake drums and shoes. Now with panic stations about the veedub, do you think we could find any drums? Right! Anyway, long story cut short, the brakes have been sorted to last a bit longer and the beamer gets the nod.

Will report back l8r.
