The Day arrived. Many things to do before mustering some rusted tertis skills to get packing. Re-Shaving. And more packing. Oh, and don’t forget the packing...Oh Boy. As the car left the driveway it was packed to and on the roof, things on laps, stacked around feet and away we go!

First stop and trial camping venue is at the lovely Harrison resort in Taradale. On the way up here we had already figured out that we had too much stuff. What can go? What’s heavy? Some clothes, a spare tire (1 of 2) and not that much else. Turns out the Honda CR-V we have is probably not meant to take four creative people with all their tools, four laptops, camping gear and enough stuff for everything you need to do in the next tree months. Hard figure right there.  Three months. In a car.

And for this once in a lifetime Master’s degree mission Steinar assembled what is and shall be known as

            TEAM FANTASTIC!!

 

Follow our journey as it proceeds on this very unofficial, personal blog. The ups and downs the round and rounds and all of that in between.
