Bad Start as the M6 Slows Us Down

The journey has hit it's first snag. The glorious early summer weather has ground the M6 to a halt just north of the M62.

We are moving, but only just.

Already the hairdressers, in the Escort in front of us, are starting to panic about us missing the 4.25 ferry. You can hear it in their voice on the 'Pound Stretcher' walkie-talkie.
