Hi Jon,
I hope all is well, this may be of some help;
** Anyone know which map everyone will be using and where to get it from?
+++ http://www.stanfords.co.uk/stock/europe-great-road-atlas-140093/
At 1/500,000 it's good, though still looking for a one with a bigger scale.
** I need to look at the rules & regs bit and figure out which bits of guff I need to buy so as not to loose too many points before we start!!
+++ You'll have no probs with those, a man of your caliberrrrr.
** Dont remind me about getting the car ready Still not started that!
+++ yes, shame we need
** Does anyone know how to wash / clean a down duvet without killing it??
+++ http://www.grannygoose.com/care_duvets.html
Or take it to a professional cleaner, some launderettes do them.
** I have my driving license, plastic E111 form, worldwide travel insurance & passport... Any other bits I need.
+++ Ferry ticket, Logbook+MOT originals (safely kept) and photocopies (to show), in Spain you have to carry all original docs with you! In case of theft, it saves the thieves time, by not having to make new docs!
, European breakdown cover, GB sticker/badge.
** Injections - Dont need any of them - still rattling inside from Timbuktu!!!
Hope it's some help, all the best, Mark
