Sighs of Relief

Finally fully packed with the last minute things and ready for an early off. The only problem was the weight on the rear without spreading the load using the top box.

Hard to see but there was not much space between the rear tyres and the wheel arch any more. In fact we grounded the exhaust on the speed bump at he Wisbech car park behind Peckover House which was out first point if call. I only spotted one small car though in the whole house and grounds.

We grounded on the way out to but it turned out that was only the prelude. The run across several badly maintained very bumpy roads through the Fens saw us grounding out again and again - so we had to reduce our speed and play 'dodge the dip' - which made for slow progress. Then we hit lots of traffic too.

Anyway we arrived by 4:00 ish and we were all set up by 6:00. Only a slight hint of a fluff too after 140 miles. A slight sigh of relief from me.

However you could almost hear the car breath a sigh of relief too when the weight was taken off the springs. The life of a SAAB.
