I've found myself doing some goat sitting in Luton, but in two weeks time when I'm done I should really bite the bullet and find my way to the other side of the channel. I'm a little nervous. I'm trying to ignore all the scaremongers and ridiculous stories but apart from anything else, I've done very little driving abroad. I've also just spoken to a couple whose cab was broken into twice in Spain while they were sleeping in the back. They did add that they still had a fantastic time and it wouldn't stop them going again but I'm still a little worried. I'm sure I'll be fine after a while when I've got my confidence up, but does anyone have any advice for the first few days/weeks? Especially if I'm on my own? Does it help to have a plan/itinerary to start with? How far should I plan to go on the first day do you think? I am vaguely heading for a friend's house near Langres so I'll have a breather there and find my feet.
I have bought the usual gubbins (bulbs,triangle etc.) and just found out my Euro rating so I can buy a Critair sticker. Do I need a sticker for other countries too? Do I need headlight deflectors? I think I'll try and seek out other van peeps as much as possible to start with so I can learn some stuff. Any thoughts appreciated!
I'll do another thread for my specific gas questions I think...
