When was it last checked - how many miles since then? Has anything happened to loose coolant - dripping down the overflow from the header tank or over flowed when header tank cap removed (system pressurising)?

Most importantly, fit the coolant alarm before you head off on your travels.

Top up the header tank, not the radiator.
