SKILLS SCHOOL SUMMER PREP
MY GRANNY ALWAYS used to say: “Anticipation is half the pleasure,” and as I've got older, I've realised she was, as usual, quite right.
This adage is never more true than when you are looking forward to another fine season of touring, and all of the great experiences and enjoyment it will bring.
And for many of us, what really enhances that sense of anticipation and excitement is the planning and preparation. Do this early (at your leisure) and you can avoid lots of last-minute stress, and even save yourself some money.
