Shadowing Usurper.
I am having breakfast on the Pont Avon, only few hours from Santander. When I get off, all the booked parts are done and dusted. From now on I will just look on my old map... Choose a likely looking place, choose 'no motorways,' and press the GO button on the zumo 550... It sure finds some weird places ;-)
My route is to trace (very loosely) the sea going route of HMS Usurper, a RN submarine, which was lost with all hands around the 3rd Oct 1943 somewhere around the bay of Genoa.
My grandfather, Leonard Jackson was lost too. Obviously I never knew him but apparently he might have been a bit of a bugger, so he sounds OK to me
This is mainly for family to keep tabs but feel free to join in, especially if you have knowledge of submarine ops in the Med in WW2.
I am aiming to camp mainly, so WiFi will be patchy, and 3's europass doesn't include tethering (the swine). But then again Leonard couldn't contact home on his last trip either.
Potes has been recommended so I'm headed to Potes. Shortish ride to get me zeroed in.
