The first big shakedown trip for Nelson is well underway as I write this from Gdansk in Poland after an epic 1300mile trip here. This was not the original plan but work commitments for me gave me the opportunity to get to Germany a week early and Lee had to hang back to be enrolled to the Royal Society, sadly I had to miss that or we could not have made the trip so I have been getting to Munich, working and then touring through the German and Austrian Alps into Hungary, up through Solvakia into Poland and all the way up to Gdansk where I had a few days to tidy up Nelson and do some oil servicing etc, hopefully I will be joined tomorrow by Lee and we will be on our way to the Baltic states and St Petersburg.
