Skipton
After yesterday, would you believe it!
Started on M62. Just past a junction when the travel news came on, two lanes of motorway closed ahead, long delay! And I could have turned off if they'd told me two mins before!! The 3 miles to the next junction took us an hour and the road closure was still 3 junctions ahead of us. Not playing with that!
Decided to go cross country to enable us to take some nice scenic views as well. Trouble was we had to negotiate the city first, along with everyone else avoiding the motorway and all the Friday night rush hour traffic that we were now in.
By the time we reached country the light was going and it wasn't worth stopping given the journey we had ahead. Stopped in Skipton for fish and chips, but not before catching a photo of the canal.
Final leg of the journey, back on a motorway, sign said junction ahead closed and that was the junction I wanted!!! Ended up cross country again!
Back home totally exhausted. Total travel time (excluding Skipton stop) 3hrs 40mins!
