And so the plan began

And so the plan began.

 

With Christmas and New Year over for another year and our small Toyota corolla packed up to the hilt with tent and all other camping gear we made our way down the Clyde Mountain for our annual camping holiday on the NSW South Coast. 

There was just the two of us in the car and we did not have any radio reception, so we had nothing else to do but to talk to each other, this is when Marty first came up with the idea of a camping trip that would last for 12 months and take us around Australia.

And so the dream began, but we would need to upgrade our camping equipment to something a little more fitting and comfortable for the task.

After a good look around we settled on and acquire our complete campsite camper trailer (CT).  We also had to get a new car that would tow the CT.

In the last two and a half years we have managed to get out and about with the CT either on our own or with family and friends to some nearby destinations to investigate how everything is going to work.  This also involved going a doing a introductory level CT driving course to find out the operation of a four wheel drive vehicle and vehicle recovery techniques. In addition to this we learnt how to tow our CT on unsealed surfaces and over 4WD terrain. Trailer maintenance and daily checks.

2011 is to be our year so we have returned to work after the Christmas period and are trying to stay focused on what we are being paid to do, but ever more important things are being a bit of a distraction, check that we have to make sure that our leave from work is approved
