Yep the wall, I'm at the wall again. Someone recently said to me, "...looking forward to seeing it (referring to a bag I just bought) at the wall sometime soon". This is true, I have a limited amount of locations up my sleeve, unless I actually visit a new town. But as I've loosely pencilled in 2015 as the "year of road trips", who knows what weird and wonderful places I'll have as a backdrop. On a scale of one to Yasumi (Yasumi being 10, because look), I'm aiming for a realist seven.
The plan is for me and Nik to drive across Europe - starting at mine in Lancashire, then down to France, and then on to wherever will have us! A realistic seven. Belgium, Holland, Germany, Denmark...stopping off for a couple of days in each country. As I write this it's sounding more like a potential eight - we've got to make this happen!
I realise none of this has anything to do with the photos above, I've gone off on one. I'd call this outfit "Dad's Day Off", as the combination of the Barbour Jacket + Wolverine Boots makes me think I'd be more suited to a Range Rover than a Fiat 500. They'd both serve as trusty companions for a trip across Europe.
So does anyone have experience in planning road trips like this? We're thinking rent some wheels, sort out some sweet places and go from there. Dom Joly's Happy Hour springs to mind. If there's any travel companies reading please do get in touch!

This is on my bucket list...sourcing the right vehicle is probably holding me back at the moment (and having the time off). Cool boots though and I'm new to "the wall" but looking forward to it's appearance again soon!

It is slightly "dadish" mind you, maybe it's the boots. Yes do it, plenty of places near you guys, both ways.
ReplyDeleteLet's do this!
ReplyDeleteWe aren't going just yet but I sure will do, think we had Hamburg in mind but you never know.
ReplyDeleteLet's hope we can both make it there in '15!
ReplyDeleteWe don't know when it's going to happen, but hopefully before summer.
ReplyDeleteQuality isn't it, thanks for stopping by.
ReplyDeleteMade in USA of course :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for spotting by Valerie, glad you like.
ReplyDeleteIt's all a dream, but I reckon we can make it happen. My biggest dream is to do it across the US though. One day.
ReplyDeleteThe wall is always on the go, you'll see. Yeah we considered buying a banger off eBay and seeing how far we can get. Probably a daft idea.
