'Just Desserts?'
« on: June 28, 2008, 23:12:50 »
After posting this question whilst looking for a video-clip, I found this combination.


I presume it's the same vehicle?? (same person added them)


Before

During

After

I know both roads in question, & went through the 'During' & 'After' flood before it got anywhere near that deep (it was only at bumper depth)


Viewing this Multi-Map link. 'Before' was taken on Newton Lane, just west of Fairburn village (practically where the '11', for 'height above sea-level' is on the map)

'During' & 'After' are taken further west along that lane, where there's a lane (Ledston Mill Lane) to the north leading into Ledston, the Shogun is stranded where the stream/'pond' meet at the road.

Coincidentally, I rode all the way along there on Friday morning too, on my way home from Sherburn (then south down the A656 into Castleford)

I would say the 54 plate L200 is dead!

I don't think they knew what were doing.

If want to walk it walk it, if you want to ride it ride it just leave me alone to drive it!

I agree its stupid or maybe just very ill informed, but I think its a high price to pay (although no doubt insurance coughed up!). Provided thay were not bothering other road users or damaging the countryside I dont think its a huge problem, although it does not help the image of 4x4's.

Im sure when we had the floods I saw a ford ranger stuck ina big puddle/small flood in stroud, cars were getting through so I think they were playing (making big splash) and flooded it! plonker.
