Would be good to hear of any paj owners who have done this, as I was recently speaking to a couple who drove their lawn rover from the UK to vietnam Shocked Via the Himalayas etc, what an awesome trip that must have been.

Vietnam sounds like my kind of adventure, although ive seen plenty of reviews of the drive to cape town which certainly tickles my fancy.

Kryten, outside of Europe the cost of fuel drops considerably, some parts of the middle east/ africa are still around the 30p a litre mark.

I do agree these types of adventure are still getting more expensive, so im hoping i only live once.

I hear there are plenty of Paj's down the East side of Africa, so parts/repairs arnt a problem

On a smaller scale we are having a week in central france this july and I fancied making a road trip of it, until I worked out it would be about £600 in diesel Shocked   Shocked Flights & train are £125 each so no brainer sadly Sad Would love to do a big trip some day though.

I'm planning a trip either in June this year or summer next (hopefully the earlier) withe Paj' and the tin tent from Blackpool to hull, then the ferry to the Hook of Holland,, then drive to Germany via Belgium and then onto Spain and across to Ibiza, then back to mainland Spain and through France and then back to Blighty via ferry to Dover and then a run back home to Blackpool.

all in 16 days, should keep me out of trouble for a fortnight  Laughing

That sounds a good trek out! Id be wary of the local tribes in Hull, ive heard tales of canibalism.
