The Drive North

29/12/2013

Well this morning I found myself sitting in a local garage waiting for the winter tyres to be put on my big brown van.

After several hours of waiting they were on and I was ready to go. Well ready to go home anyway, despite having a van full of kit I also had a van full of wheels, which needed to end up back in the garage. I also had to load up the van with Nana's luggage. 

after saying around of fair wells I chucked the last few bits and bobs in the van (I am always surprised at how many bits and bobs there are) and headed off North.

It all went swimmingly until I attempted to return some stuff to IKEA. This was a bad move. Apparently people want to go sale shopping between Christmas and New Year. 40min later i was still on the first roundabout. Eventually I managed to get back to the M25 and head north again, still with the IKEA stuff. 

It was just traffic the whole way. Car after car after car. Horrific.

Eventually after many hours of driving I made it to Nana's in Culcheth where I have called it an evening and am crashing out to sleep. Night All!
