I am Barrie and my beloved partner is Carol. We are on the threshold of retirement and will hit the road in Late July with our new Lotus Trooper Van. Currently are doing some short shake down runs, but have got the taste for the "big one"!
We too are still fairly new to it, and have done several small trips, the longest being 3 weeks. We are planning, planning and looking to a great future as a nomad. Congratulations. Have fun
Good looking van :) Now you've got the taste for it, 'the big one' is inevitable! We're still working and travelling, not yet (quite) retired, but loving every day out in the back of beyond.
