I have been a very quiet blogger since this wonderfully exciting plan was born. I drop the odd comment here and there but on the whole you could think of me as a silent co-driver (yes you did hear that correctly!). However, sat at home now watching the end of series 3 of Battlestar Gallactica, I suddenly realise that tomorrow Phil and I will be hauling our 30 something year old butts across Europe, with a 15 year old sofa on wheels that doesn't have heating!

2 weeks ago we were at Donnington, what an amazing weekend that was. Topped off by getting told off by the marshals for speeding on track! You gotta love those guys, they made our weekend! But I remember thinking that it still didn't feel like we were really going to do it. I know it did for Phil as he has been slaving over a hot car for months and months and I have to all intents and purposes been in denial. But it has suddenly hit me (rather like a mountain bike now I think about it), S2N START DAY IS HERE!!!!!!

So enough waffling from me, I will be back tomorrow I hope, with thoughts and natter from our first day on the road. Hopefully we won't have killed each other before we get to Calais (should be fine, we can unite in many hours of Monty Python style jesting about the French!). Don't forget to check out the live tracking system to see where we are and where we have been. If it stays static in a field for over 3 hours then you know a sheep has eaten out Bluetooth GPS thing so you can stop watching it!
