A Ford in A Ford

We went on a Boxing Day walk to Rufford Country Park today.

On the edge of the park there is a road connecting the A614 to the village of Willow.

The road includes a Ford. The road was closed today, but didn't stop some drivers crossing the Ford.

This is a Ford crossing the Ford (see what I did there)

I was talking to a young man (a 1st year student at the Uni' of Leicester), who was filming the cars on his iphone 10. He was a youtuber and his site was essentially cars driving through the Ford.

He told me that on Christmas Eve the Ford was up to the level of the bridge on the left hand side of the frame.

I thought the mono helped tell the story of the Ford ...gave it a reportage feel

You are blessed you weren't crossing the ford on that bridge, otherwise you would have been drenched up to your head, and poor Ruby if she was with you. Great capture of the splash.

Ha ha Phil, hope you dint have to wait too long for a Ford car to come through.. there doesn't seem to be as many Fords as there used to be I don’t think. How we used to love driving or cycling through fords when younger!
