Yes good idea with the bike but can you get your groceries on a bike? As much as we enjoyed the 2 weeks the shopping was a real pain. In the end we found a Supermarket that I could stop in a bus stop to drop my wife off, I went out of town until she rung me to come and collect her.
The other problem I had forgotten about was driving on the motorway in the wind, a head wind meant we were restricted with speed and a side wind meant it was difficult to keep it in a straight line especially when passing or being passed by other tall vehicles.

Yep, some valid points there again and much appreciated input. I would off course take all the proper care of the vehicle, and I have experience of driving box vans in poor conditions, so have that to help.. Now you mention it though I have found myself seeing a lot of camper vans parked up in supermarket car parks of late, likely stocking up before heading on I would think..
