Friday was almost a disaster travelling along the M27 and bang went the offside caravan tyre, I was a little shaken up but kept control and came to a stop on the hard shoulder, I have seen so many caravans turned over this was the first thing i thought so NO BRAKES just cruised into the hard shoulder and breathed a huge sigh of relief, arrived at Sandy Balls gone midnight but i must add there warden "Gordon" it rhymes! was excellent he could not have done more to make our stay any better, called out a mobile tyre fitter on Saturday who came out tooke the two wheels and fitted new tyres and then reffited for £50 how bad was that! I expected to have to take a second mortgage but not this time, had a great weekend following our disaster though Sandy Balls is an excellent venue now fully chilled with new tyres ready for next weekend role on Friday.

Thanks just chilling out at the moment but if you suffer a blow out dont touch the breaks it causes the van to start turning i accelerated just a little to keep the weight of the car forcing it along and rolled to a stand still on the ahrd shoulder but i was shaken up by it after i stopped i had the girls in the back of the car and was relieved when it was over, thanks
