All our equipment has been packed into the Toyota camper, most of this is photographic gear but  also some boxes of clothes and an eclectic  mix of other paraphernalia such as – a white sheet ( for wrapping up a body) a legal requirement ir you are driving a truck in Argentina ! a mountain tent in case the winds are too strong in Patagonia to put up the camper roof and  two aquariums in which to photograph fish and amphibians,  ah well our attempt at travelling light was but a dream.

Then a drive down to the Tilbury docks on the north side of the Thames and the attempt to get the truck into a container. The container will be shipped by the Pentalver shipping line.

Container terminal, Tilbury, London.

With our hearts in our mouth the Toyota camper edged towards the container –

The tightest fit possible

The camper went in with 3cm on the length to spare, then all 4 wheels were strapped and tightened and chocks put under all 4 tyres to prevent movement and hey presto all done.

Strapping and chocking the truck safely inside.

Onto the Santa Rita ship bound for Montevideo.
