Great night's sleep - with air con, then a good breakfast.
Now at a roadside welding place to get radiator mounting brackets fixed. Jonny wants to take charge , so I'm letting him. The problem is that when you have an arc welder, everything becomes a welding problem. I don't believe welding brackets will last long on these roads - they broke at a previous join. Will see what extra bracing we can add.

Later - unlikely venue of roadside furniture maker did a decent repair on the radiator brackets - and added side strengthening for extra support. Have put in some Radweld and hope for the best. Early to bed tonight, as Matt is being a slavedriver and is keen that we hit the road at 5am to beat the traffic.
