Jane and I had quite an eventful road trip today. At one point, we found the route we had intended to take blocked by works without any clear indication on what an alternative route would be. Google maps showed a small road that looked like it would get us round. It did, but it was a very small road indeed with huge potholes!

A site which would have been useful to check on is one.network, which seems a pretty comprehensive guide to long and short term disruptions across the UK roadnetwork. With that intelligence, we probably would have picked a different route entirely and, next time we travel, I’ll probably check there first.
