Subject:Road Trip in UK

Hi Folks,

We are just about to hit the road for a summer holiday travelling
from north of Manchester UK to St Just in Cornwall.  It is
approximately 400 miles and most of it is motorway (freeway)
driving.  In England this means loads of traffic jams, quite a few
hills and such like.

It is our first really big road trip in our Westy aircooled 82 van,
all serviced up and running but I am really nervous.  Any advice
before we leave from you seasoned travellers over the pond?  Should I
stop regularly to let it cool down, should I do anything special
regarding the trip in advance or is it just a case of ploughing on
and chilling?

Thanks,
Paul
