If I'm honest I made a right pigs ear of setting up the ratchet straps, which was doubly annoying when I realised just how bloody easy they are to use, but once I had my head around it, both bikes were securely tied down in the back of the van.
The drive down was nice and easy, but when I got down to the South Coast, it was raining. Thankfully after a cup of tea and a toastie, I was able to quickly able to wheel the bikes out of the van and into their new home. Its all getting very serious now.
