White D4 towing a caravan on M25
Yesterday a white D4 towing a white caravan on the M25 anticlockwise. It got a bit of wriggle on going down Riegate Hill before pulling off for the M23.
I'm sure there was a Disco3 sticker in the rear window.2004 Disco 3 HSE TDV6

That would be me! On my way to Brighton. Heading on to Cornwall tomorrow.
Didn’t realise I had a wiggle on! Usually tows very well, or I never notice the caravan wiggling around!

It’ll be early! Just been looking at the map and it’s a looooong way and little motorway.

It is a it of a trek, Manchester-Brighton-Cornwall-Manchester.
Had to come to Brighton to see my son, not seen since lock down, so yes, you could say SWMBO’s direction! I had no choice. 😉

It was only a small one as you we’re passing a truck, I passed you in the third lane in my green D3 trying to avoid all the nutters around me!2004 Disco 3 HSE TDV6

Lucky it wasn’t Friday, the A27 has been chaos around Chichester as an Amazon lorry crashed shutting the A27 in both directions all day. Have a safe trip.DS3 TDV6 HSE - Silver with Alpaca (old one) Gone

Got a routing dilemma! 3 choices very close time-wise but big difference mileage-wise.
The blue one. They all go through the same bottleneck zone so just tootle along on the non-motorway route.

Yes, but the A27 is a horrible road. Stop start, lots of towns and villages, and towing a caravan too. Tempted by the easy motorway tbh.

You’ll be ok today Gareth, but the M27 is nearly all 50mph. Of those routes I’d still do the blue one.DS3 TDV6 HSE - Silver with Alpaca (old one) Gone
