Traffic jam in the country

Another quick shot out the car window - we were waiting for the traffic to clear so we could slosh and slide through the mud too.

My goodness, you'd want some really good tyres on your car to do that.

@deborah63 Well I was pleased we weren't in a low slung sports car but tomorrow it will need to be washed as it covered in mud, mud, glorious mud!

[Pat Knowles]

Looks like those trucks are off to a stock sale, you have had some rain, not the best road to drive on in that!

[Walks @ 7]

And to think that some people pay money for a mud bath :):)

Wow - so much traffic on a road that looks like it should be empty!

@happypat @happypat It really is just a farm track. I kept asking Leicester to stop the car but he reckoned he would never get going again. As it was we were parked to the side so these trucks and cars could get through the ford. It got even muddier when we drove through the paddock so we could get back on the road.

@joysabin Haha I have no idea why you would do that except for revisiting your childhood, I suppose.

@robz I heard today that the road didn't reopen for another 3 hours after we went through - it must have got even muddier with all that traffic.
