So the car is packed bar our clothes bag, the roof box is stuffed BUT at least the cabin is clutter free - well the kids get the picnic bag and their toy box.

Tyres up to pressure - can't believe the Vectra requires 43psi for the rear with a full load!

Amazed at just how much stuff we have accumulated.

Tomorrow we take the lot for a 2 night test camp in Canterbury, and then the first big trip on Friday.

Looking forward to getting going now.

Hi BarneyC.

                  I noticed that with the Golf, normal tyre psi all round is 32Lb, but fully laden 42Lb rear and 35Lb front, and the space saver spare runs at 60Lb!, also of course I had to let a whole bunch of air out of the tyres once past Lyon in France, due to the +40Deg C heat inflating them even more!, you can't be too carefull though as tyre pressures are quite important, and should be monitord daily. especialy as I was honking down the Autoroutes fully laden.

Andy.
