Default countdown starts

17 hours until start of holiday6am start about 300 miles and 6 hours drive.

Forecast for Saturday in the South West is heavy rain and very strong winds, perfect conditions for towing and setting up a caravan

I thought P.....s on the move, but then you have a two wheeler,
300 miles, watch out for green Badgers on to your carbon footprint.
My neighbour is off to Anglesey sat a.m., only 100 miles,but he always sets off at dawn (4.00a.m.), so why are you setting off so late
Have a good time

Bob

Don't forget your Lidl/Aldi special camping satellite kit, you wouldn't want the missus missing her shows...

Yeah, my porty kit dish (4 years old now I think) has a tendency to lose it's dish these days, but I like it...

Wonderful time. perfect satellite picture all the time by the way.

If the tug means caravan then it only has 2 wheels.

Very impressed with the car it got us down there towing on only 3/4 of a tank, and did the same on the way back others with 4x4s took 2 tanks

What type of car?. a lot of 4x4s are thirsty, I had a toyota colarado
3 lite diesel about 10 years ago, first fill up £35, 3 yrs later £70,it would pull a house down, now I have a Nissen ex trail my second, this in front wheel drive only and 6th gear will return 60mpg on a run, it is my second ex trail, Im very impressed with it. Most ecconomical soft off roader I have ever had,

Sorry everything I tow is double axle for weight dist, my neighbour as just got a 4 wheel caravan for the royal welsh show, so now I can call him
piklet.
