A foreign registered FH carried out a more successful pit manoeuvre on a Porsche on the opposite side of the tunnel yesterday also, made a bit of a mess of the Porsche!

Surely the lorry could get screwed there. Dangerous load, blocking lights etc?

Would probably give vosa a reason to pull them, but you could easily see the n/s lights through the gaps and the definitely weren't the reason for the accident.

Was it around near the rubb sheds/4 berth? looks like the crane they use to put the bales of recycle paper on the ship that loads there. They close the berth off and make us drive through the grain shed when they're doing it, have a look at the quay opposite the restaurant whenever you go past as it's normally down there every couple of weeks, guess it does other stuff too.

Forgot to post this view from Sweden couple of weeks ago.

Parked under the new bridge construction to bypass Sundsvall,will make progress north so much easier

for us all....LOL.

Stayed in Sundsvall in '03 and '04 Was going up to Rovaniemi with a car to do the Arctic Rally, Cant remember it really being a bottle neck, but time fades the memory lol. Did the Harwich - Esberg ferry and drove up, first year I was in a Disco and Trailer, 2nd year LDV Convoy, Good times and great memories, Well worth a trip in the winter
