Independent overland travel through Africa in a Unimog called Moglet

Progress at last! Jason finally managed to get time to go through Moglets garage area - - we've inherited so many spare parts, we need to catalogue the whole lot so we know what we've got! I've also spent much of the day going through everything inside the living area and putting smiliar things together - the down side to having been preparing for the trip for so long is that we started to lose track of what we'd already bought/packed, so there's a lot of duplicates. Not too much been cleared out or binned at this stage, but at least we now have a clearer idea of eactly what we have, and how many of everything.

We've also made a few phone calls and put together a bit of a plan for the rest of the week. Jason has been recommended an electrician who specialises in caravans and self-builds, so we're going to get Moglet checked over on Thursday and see if anything needs changing before we head off. Chances are it'll all be fine, she's been the way she is now for 5 or 6 years so any major issues would have raised themselves, but we want to have it all checked over by someone who knows what they're looking at, coz that aint us!

On Friday we head back to Newmarket so Jason can have the last of his jabs and I can pick up my pill stash for the trip. Still cant get over how cheap the malaria pills are, compared to what I've been quoted elsewhere - my doctors are selling 400 doxycycline to me on a private prescription for the princely sum of £23!

One final thing still to arrange is PC related - we want to get an IT chappie to have a look at what we have to make sure we get everything set up the right/best way. If it were just a laptop it'd be pretty simple, but we've currently got a tower PC as well as two creaky old laptops, and files and software from all three need to be mooshed onto the less aged laptop for the trip, and the other two lumps of hardware will stay at home. Its one of those things that you can probably sit and fiddle with for a few hours and fudge your way around it, but someone who knows what they're doing can probably spend half an hour clicking buttons and have it all whirring away perfectly. Or so we hope...
