My new road almost exists on Google maps. The streets are shown, but not the names.

Its kinda funny comparing the view in hybrid mode. Old photo. New roads.

 

Taking the long(ger) way home

Things were not so bad when i made my way home from scouts last night. Scissett barely looked like it had been as bad as it had during the day. The river was certainly below road level!

It was only between Carlton and Shafton that I had any problems. On Shaw road the signs said it was closed ahead, but i fancied a look anyway, and was confronted with the pictured scene.

It didn’t look deep. But i certainly wasn’t going to risk it. The road actually bends round to the left once through the bridge, and then goes up a steep hill.

This morning I had to find a new route to work, shame i didnt have the 1:50000 with me last night. I don’t think i took the most direct route!
