Postman, did you see my post in Tea? about the route to Stamford Bridge?

That is why it must not be stopped - the faster it moves the less can be seen

Thanks that would have been great.

will there be an accompanying vehicle slightly behind and to the right with a flashing light on?

 

[postman]

No,but there might be a backlog of cars due to my slow pace.

Am I the only one to be disappointed that this thread wasn't about this sort of over sized load?

I was quite tempted to head over to York to see it until I twigged that wasn't what you meant.

70 miles in 6 hours and Leeds to York in 90mins is very good.

After Acomb I proceed to the lights facing Micklegate Bar, follow the walls round to the right, past the Castle, to the right turn at the lights by the chip shop, then leave York by the A1079. At the A64 roundabout my autopilot takes me down the B1228 to Howden, but you will zoom straight across for Stamford Bridge (where I am told there is a fine selection of eateries.)
Apparently you are going to get very hot that day.
