Luggage net - bought from James Whiting for less than £10, these nets are very useful for little bits and pieces. We have two, one mounted in each footwell. Be careful about the siting on the net in the drivers footwell. Too high and it can 'interfere' with you leg as it rests on pedals! Very simple to fit with a few self-tapping screws, I have also seen one fitted on the rear bulkhead between the seats.
Plastic coated, spiral bound map of France we bought on our 04 Summer trip - a best buy - it meant we could stick to little country roads and not get lost!

We have discovered many nice places to stay and useful tips on our travels, and will share them with you here. I shall add to this regularly, and shall include B&B contact details, luggage tips and travel information, such as ferry options, and guide books we use.

Our favourite B&B in France, situated in the village of Brimeux, just outside Montreuil. An hours drive from Calais it is perfect as a first or last stop before crossing the Channel. Mme speaks English - map to follow.

If you go to the Norschleife then we can recommend you eat here. You can also stay here, but you will find cheaper alternatives. The traditional German food and Mossel wine we had here was fantastic. The historic motorsport connection is second none - ask to see the guest book...
