Anyone interested in a holiday convoy

Hello Bonglers
I have not been on here for a while......the last time I was on the forum, I asked fellow Bonglers what time of the year is a good time to sell my Betsy Bongo. I haven't had her that long and not been out in her much, because of a sudden bereavement. I have just lost interest. It has been a very sad time. I had so many plans to go travelling. Life has many twists and turns.
At the time of writing my previous post, I had a problem with the drivers side window, but it was simply a loose wire. It has been in a very good garage in Swansea.....apparently, I have been told that the wiring does go often. Anyway, all done and she is going like a dream again.
She is a lovely van, clean and no rust etc. I haven't yet had the fun with my Bongo as I had planned.
I am still thinking of selling, as I hardly use her, but there is a part of me which wants to keep her. If I do decide to keep her, I have been thinking of doing something in my son's memory and doing something for charity, which will include my Betsy. My son sadly passed away during an epileptic seizure and I woud like to raise some money for Epilepsy Research UK. His memorial is on the site along with other people who have fallen victim to this all too often tragic condition. He didn't even get to have the chance to take a trip with me in Betsy.
Epilepsy is a very misunderstood illness, with little public knowledge or media publicity about it. The illness has been around since biblical times, yet we hear very little about it.
I was thinking of doing something a bit adventurous. Travelling the coast of Britain and highlighting epilespy in some way...with a quirkiness, my son would appreciate that. Or driving to France, that will certainly be a challenge for me, will take me out of my comfort zone ! Can anyone suggest something ?? Are there any Bonglers out there who would be willing to do a convoy somewhere ??
Hopefully I will hear from like-minded Bongo followers.
