Coming home from Laindon and the traffic coming off the A13 heading up Lower Dunton Road to the A127 was unreal, never seen it so busy, Glad I was going the other way!!

You can keep London and its surrounding areas. Gimme the wide open spaces and fresh air of the Yorkshire Dales

I bet THIS would take more than 40 minutes though

Lovely bit of countryside you have there. I used to play cricket against a school in Harrogate many years ago when I went to school in Pocklington.

Actually, there is a road all the way around Grimwith that would make a fun rally stage, but that route would need one of those Gibbs Aquada MX5 thingy's

You would have to stop & dry the plugs at least once or twice.

Would there have been a road there that was covered when they flooded the reservoir perhaps? I know they covered a whole village in the Lake District, roads houses & all.

corradoboy

Quite possible. There's the remains of the workers village called Birchinlee or 'Tin Town' underneath Derwent/Ladybower/Howden reservoirs which were exposed in the drought recently.

Ouch now that really is a slog

Likewise Andy.
I hope none of my kids get into bikes as there just appears to be far too many deaths on bikes these days.
