Just back from Lincolnshire after visiting a friend. Did not take my Romini. The A1 is unrecognisable since my last trip South. The new sat nav I bought last year is now out of date with road lay outs, since it had me travelling in a field when I was passing Leeming Bar/Dishforth area. 50mph for 9 miles seemed to go on forever with the road works and for some strange reason around Wetherby service area my sat nave went mad and bleeped about speed cameras and speed restictions of 50mph when it was a perfectly normal stretch of road. (maybe it was picking up speed cameras which were on adjacent roads). Got home at midnight totally shattered.
As for travelling North on A1 (up to Edinburgh for instance) you would not believe it was the same road. Totally neglected certainly not as posh. But in some ways I prefer it that way, without all these fancy hi fallutin road systems/traffic lights etc. Oh for quieter times before the invention of the roundabout before a simple "t" junction became a mega roundabout with traffic lights(so many lanes to choose from and you can bet I'm always in the wrong lane
So come summer tin tenters and MH's. Beware the A1 and keep your sat nav updated.
