Even if the weather forecast is promising sunny skies, it’s always a good idea to pack for all weather. Especially if you plan on sleeping in a tent, where temperatures might drop suddenly during the night.
Plan your trip, as simple as that. Some roads you were planning to take might have road works or be closed completely. It's also a good habit to take a break after every two to three hours of driving. This will allow you to stretch your legs and regain focus for another stretch of driving.
If you have an electric car, make sure you are aware of how far you can drive with one charge. You should also be aware of your nearest charging stations to reduce range anxiety. You can view all the available charging points with the Zapmap.
