hey guys, been taking advantage of the (possibly last) long summer breaks us students get, so been away travelling, heres the low down on what ive been up to.

For the last 5 weeks ive been bombing around europe with johnny, one of my best mates from uni in his campervan, the plan was to get to serbia and back (for Exit festival) and visit a few choice destinations on the way, which ended up being london, paris, amsterdam, berlin, prague, vienna, budapest, belgrade, novi sad (for the festival), we then headed down to croatia (had to drive the whole way round bosnia as our insurance didnt cover us there) to sun ourselves for a week in the adriatic.



We gave ourselves 3 days to get back from croatia to dunkerque, but i got a bit carried away and did it (1402 miles) in 16 hours and 5 redbulls, so we spent 2 days at bray dunes (just nextdoor to dunkerque) eating too many moules and drinking too much wine.

Its been without doubt the best holiday ive ever had, highlights, apart from the festival, have got to be amsterdam, such an open minded place LOL!
I was always under the impression that europe was massive, but after this trip ive realised just how small it actually is, if only people realised how easy it is to drive rather than fly...

Hoping to do something similar but maybe around asia in a couple of years.

Spent the last week (and the rest of my overdraft) visiting my sister at her new gaff in london on my way back, so now back on the island with no money, 10 resits in a month and absolutley no idea what to do.

Hope youve all had a great summer so far, and hope ive not missed too much banter since ive been away.

If i get chance, gonna try source a fuel reg and get the 998 turbo "running" (with a std 998 head until i get the 202) on the bench this week.

Sounds like you have had a good trip, I must admit I had noticed you had disappeared from the forum and wondered what you were up to!
