broken rear spring

[ben50]

hi, we are away for the weekend camping in the van at the moment. Got back from a day on the beach yesterday and the van seemed a bit lower than usual at the back. On closer inspection the rear offside spring has snapped off at the pigtail bit. So i think that now explains the strage noise like a bag of spanners (
so anyway, my question is, is it safe to drive like this? I need to drive back home from woolacome to bristol tomorrow. I didn't notice it driving any different on the way down just the spannery jangle over bumps, so maybe it'll be ok?
Cheers
