Bl**dy H*ll what a day, set off in blanket fog at 10 for Retford, get nicely over the Humber Bridge & into Lincolnshire when Traffic update on radio. Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo the A1 is closed from junction 51 to A66(Scotch Corner exit) Collected the boys safely, met up with other collectees at the Kennels, set off onto the A1 via Retford.
Cruised along up to Exit 49 & set off up A19 towards Northallerton & into the wilds of the countryside. Loads & loads of diverted traffic of course !! & arrived at SC eventually at 14.30 instead of 13.45. Lady from Northumberland delayed(obviously)coming south on A1 & getting diverted also.
Eventually get dogs handed over at 15.00 & 15.30 & set off home, via the scenic route !! More traffic & lots & lots further to travel !
Eventually got home at just before 19.00 after a pitstop for me as I had eaten all day !!
All safely home now-do NOT want to do that again
Worse still the news is that the police & Army found no trace of any explosion !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
