Went down to Derby this morning to fetch MissW home for the weekend. Set off at 0800 but the contractors on the M1 had had southbound down to one lane overnight, and had not restored three lanes. So what is usually about 16 miles at 50mph became 5 miles at a lot less than 50mph as the traffic was squeezed through the gap. So my journey down which should have taken just under an hour became an hour and fifteen.
Coming back I stayed on the A38 a bit longer, then towards Newark, before heading North through Ollerton. This should have been a decent run, but there ws a ceramic fair just south of Ollerton. There had been an attempt to manage traffic, but it failed dismally and we lost over 15 minutes coming back.
This year we seem fated into getting caught up in event traffic of one sort or another. Badminton Horse trials was the worst by far. No Morgans seen on the trip, but later I saw one parked in the local garden centre at Wentworth - Blue with a cream interior, and a MOG number.
103 miles in total, and a good run out for the Roadster.
