Default People on motorway bridges with cameras?

Hi

Just finished the joyous trip from Liverpool to Wycombe - which I do every month give or take.

Something was most odd on the way home in that on almost every motorway bridge stood a group of people with cameras with large / telephoto lenses.

There wasn't any unusual cars on the motorway.

What gives?

Might be because of the gumball 3000 Dublin to Bucharest

Our transport Director is on that website all the time, sad git.

He takes his lorries seriously, he has even named them all after castles (I think) which is a crap copy of the Eddie Stobart girl name thing.

Do have some nice lorries though
