2 weeks to go… Time to introduce the cast and crew

John         the driver
Sarah       the tour guide and spreadsheet queen
Benny      the posh paws
William    the Conqueror caravan
Andy        the Freelander

As with all great expeditions, planning and preparation is essential, we have created spreadsheets, logged the kit, searched locations, planned the route and finalised the budget (hopefully John won’t see this as a target).

For those interested in statistics, William weighs in at 1,467kg with an additional payload of 133kg for personal effects! So to make sure we comply with the Maximum Technical Permissible Laden Mass (MTPLM) of 1,600kg everything has been weighed and recorded. Benny is trying to help too and has volunteered to go on a diet! to save a kilo or two!

So far we have, we have about 30kg of the allowance for personal effects left and there is plenty of essential stuff still to pack, so it's going to be very tight. Fingers crossed we can fit it all in...
