Found this amusing story whilst browsing a site that's amusing, but not entirely family friendly, so I won't mention it on here

You would have thought the sign saying Unsuitable for motor vehicles would give it away, thats the point you hit the commands to find alternative route

Great story  :lol:
We brought a sat nav to help with learning a new area.
Whils't out learning some of the back lanes the sat nav said to turn right.
I looked at the junction to see it was a green lane.
No signs at the entrance to warn us away, so we went for it.
Only 1/2 mile long and a bit over grown but a normal car could have gone down it with no problems

It took us through a ford the other day too
Fun with sat nav  :lol:

pah that bedford is nothing to what we had stuck down to it's axles before the bank hols weekend setting up a waterways festival. 2 days to crane in about 10-15 boats. finaly finished the craning. crane reversed out and came off the hard core.

crane sank in the mud. not any small crane either. a 140 tonne crane!!! took 3 heavy duty recovery trucks to rescue it and about 4 hours. it was leaning at about 45degrees to one side!! when I find some photos I will put a link up for you all!! :lol:
