Make sure you know what you need for each country - a decent map will have this at the front. For example in France you need hi-viz in car (not boot), spare bulbs etc etc.

Plan your route and book cancellable hotels on Booking.com - gives you scope to change plans.

Get decent breakdown cover, and make sure you're happy with the level of cover - be prepared for the worst-case scenario; you'll regret saving £50 if it totally ruins the trip.

Once you've planned it all, relax and enjoy it - it's great fun!
thank you for your input, much appreciated
