Space time continuum distorted down the fen part two

Is there a part two, how can there be. Well there is its the bits I forgot to say just in case you all rush of down the fen read on and be warned.

So after the terrific incident involving the lorry and the overwhelming amount of traffic, about four cars etc each side of the blockage. We all drove on across the fen when to my complete consternation I noticed road repairs, what, yes road repairs new tarmac to try and lessen some of the humps and bumps.

Now if you have never driven across there you will not know that the road is listed, not architecturally you understand but side to side so perhaps listing might be more appropriate then it is also twisted and has almost mountainous sections to contend with which are fine if you respect it and drive at speeds that mean you get to the other end without shaking and worrying about what that noise was on the car when you hit a sticky up bit.

Anyway repairs have been made so the next few crossings could need to be made slower than usual to work out which humps bumps twists etc have now gone and which remain. The benefit of those changes will of course all change if we get another odd year of weather and the road sections, concrete covered with tarmac, move again as they do on a regularish basis.

Then after my lazy late lunch I finally reach the village of Reach well not quite and what do I see, the road crossing wires of a traffic monitoring counter. The cheek of it, the county council are obviously trying to find out how many vehicles are using the fen road, despicable behaviour that will encourage people to drive the route just to go over the wires and be counted. I hope the poor folk of Reach have been warned, the users of the Dykes End will certainly have something to talk about over there pints as a result of this.
