Hello again, reader
Just a short update on the eve of my journey.
It looks like the leaking diesel problem is fixed. I needed to find 'an o ring for an injector return pipe' for a Ford Transit Connect. Not easy. I finally found one yesterday at Bridgend 's Ford Motor Centre. This is it:
Three mechanics have looked at the engine now and the general verdict is that I'm okay to travel.
I had intended to be already on the road today, but I lost a day getting that leak sorted. So today was spent shopping for supplies and camping items, then packing everything into the van. It's a squash and a squeeze.
Last night, I slept in the van as a trial run - just on the driveway. I had an awesome night's sleep. Nine hours straight. It's really cramped getting dressed and undressed, remembering where you've set things. I'll get used to it. Organization will be key.
And tomorrow I'm off. I think this is about as prepared as I can be, and winter is coming. In the morning, I'll be driving to York for a few days, and I'll make another blog post from there.
Thanks for reading,
Brian
