NickBW Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 Hi all, A week this saturday, i will be collecting my first Westfield. It is roughly a 3 hour drive there and 3 hours back. Is there anything i need to pack for such a long journey on the way home in the Westfield? I cannot wait to pick it up now! Thanks Nick 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoffrey Carter (Buttercup) Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 Congratulations. I would take a hat, light coat in case it rains, and have breakdown cover just in case. Dont forget a GoPro or camera. Lets see a picture if you have one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAFKARM Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 Suncream. Don’t forget the knees if you’ve got shorts on! Enjoy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BugMan Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 On the assumption somebody is driving you down, have an agreed return journey planned so if you get separated you stand a chance of finding each other, cash for petrol, a navigation app such as WAZE on your phone, and an external battery to keep it alive. On the breakdown cover my wife just signed me and herself up on Autoaid through Groupon and got a great deal, which was about £30 for the both of us for a year. https://www.autoaidbreakdown.co.uk/ https://www.groupon.co.uk/deals/autoaid-1?keyw=autoaid&crea=257534670219&netw=g&adpos=1t1&utm_campaign=UK_DT_SEA_GGL_TXT_TTT_SR_CBP_CH1_NBR_k*autoaid_m*e_c*257534670219_d*UK-RTC-Root-National_g*RTC-autoaid-1-EXACT_s*1407_t*kwd-299463799173&utm_source=Google&utm_medium=cpc&loc_physical_ms=9046337&loc_interest_ms=&template=ETA_DKI_2&gclid=Cj0KCQjwvezZBRDkARIsADKQyPk_uSqDIjhQsuS2bCCEtqR1jruVeWxLwl8ry29rllr_zC600sgQc90aAidnEALw_wcB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CosKev Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 Has it got a full screen or aero screen? That will decide if you wear a hat or not! You will need glasses whatever,I wear chopper style ones with a foam seal around the glasses,surprising how much dust you can get coming in the car passing wagons etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg 1 Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 Thermals if its cold My cap I have fitted with a lanyard around my neck so if it blows off it doesn't disappear into the scenery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olliebeak Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 One of those neck scarf things, you will always get a certain amount of buffeting which seems the side of your head and neck area, can be tiresome on a long journey. I have a Chewbacca style hat for such occasions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Nick Make sure you give it a bit of throttle down the High Street, mine sounds great through there and we will organise an evening chippy run soon after, so you can show it off!

corsechris Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 Had a 4 1/2 hour journey back from Pembrokeshire last week and all we needed was a packet of sucky sweets (for Victor Meldrew fans) and a stop for petrol. ...and I’m a soft southern Jessie too..... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickBW Posted July 3, 2018 Author Share Posted July 3, 2018 Super. Some great info from the seasoned Westfield owners... The wife and 2 kids and 2 dogs going up on the Friday for a small 2 car convoy home. Of course she will be chasing me home. Need to pack a Westfield bag. Photos on collection! @kevin yep, some good local blat roads round us as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
