Just to worn people traveling up to the Abbey Rapids race this weekend

the A1 near harrogate will be extremely busy because of this years Bramham House trails event.

allow plenty of time to pass this area.

Thanks for the note Geebs. Just thought i would put it in the direction of the majority heading to Abbey =D

JUST TO ADD FURTHER TRAFFIC PROBLEMS;

M62 EAST J32 (brighouse/Huddersfield) - J41 (M1 Leeds/Wakefield)
Speed restrictions and Average Speed Cameras (50mph) due to roadworks for motorway safety improvements.
Includes; NIGHT CLOSURE OF 2 LANES EITHER WAY (After 7pm till 5am)


A1(M) North (Bramham)
As stated earlier. Bramham horse trials near Harrogate. will make traveling through harrogate a nightmare (for the Washburn lot XD) and the A1 busy than normal

A1(M) North - Ripon (A19) to Catterick
Lane restrictions and average speed cameras (50mph) due to motorway widening

I hope one of them is that horse who broke into my house and stole my Plasma tv. I tried chasing him up past the the local Victorian superfluous edifice but tripped and sprained my ankle. Apparently a case of Follyfoot, not seen since the 70's.

Glad he got caught though and hope the judge sends him down.
