Like you Sean, I have to travel from the mountains. Call me paranoid, but I check all the bits before I go on a trip as well. I also keep a spare set of bearings and grease and tools in the boot of the car just in case. I travelled down to Bendalong over Christmas and I was quite wary of everything. I stopped and did the walk around the trailer. I dunno, I've just got this phobia about the bearings going.
