Delivery to docks at Felixstowe
September 20th
Final packing taking place at my house in south London, including loading some bulky personal items we would rather not take on the plane with us. Everything stows neatly in the security cage we have in the back of the car and we still have room for our travel bags when we load up in Califiornia for the drive down into Mexico and the start from Ensenada on November 7th.
A good photo of the car with stickers from the Inca Trail in 2001, China/Tibet in 2004 and South Africa in 2005. Not much room for a Panamericana sticker!
The drive to Felixstowe from south London is approximately 100 miles and on a gloriously sunny day I headed for the Dartford Tunnel and then for the A12 to Ipswich. Chris, my co-driver from China, followed behind so that I had a lift back to London after delivering the car.
We arrived at the container depot in Felixstowe around noon and met up with Terence who had driven from Oxford in his Toyota Colorado Landcruiser. I was hoping to see the cars loaded into the 40ft container but this was not to be, as the loading would not take place until later in the day. So, the photo I was expecting to take of the cars in the container had to be replaced by the one below of the cars parked up waiting for loading.

Two Landcruisers waiting for the container to California.
The trip will take just under four weeks and we should have the cars in Los Angeles by the 20th October. Let's hope there are no problems along the way.
