a week before setting off to Portsmouth and I'm getting everything ready...carrier carefully fitted...modern paint marks too easily...GoPro sorted...

making sure Di's crash helmet will be secure on the front carrier...she's flying out to Santander where I will pick her up and we'll travel to Gijon together...she'll still be travelling more miles on the scooter than if we were travelling from the Black Country to W-s-M...

even more excited now...took this the night before setting off to Portsmouth...can't get the rest of the luggage on because of the narrow entry at the side of the house...
