Things to do before you are 30 #19 - Drive down a narrow road with grass down the middle.

Firstly let me state that not all of things on this list are to do with driving. It just seems to be my current area of exploitation.

Anyway, last night i was driving to Vicky's. And, for once, I had actually left on time and was in no massive need to make up time on the journey. How ever there is one fact in life, however hard you try, you can never arrive anywhere on time.

I had just got off the Beverly bypass and was hurtling towards Molescroft when I saw blue lights strobing away in the distance. I got to the roundabout and the road I wanted to take had been closed due to some form of accident. I went the other way and then embarked on finding an alternative route.

The map declared that there was a nice cut though, it was a bit of a white road on the map, but hey, I'm adventurous, it will do! I eventually got to this road and turned down it. This later revealed to be a road to early and as i followed the map was getting more and more lost.

The road was narrow, will the odd bunny on the verge, looking up and staring at this machine with bright lights storming past it. I then went through a village, and the road proceeded to narrow to a little wider than that the car. I was staring to get concerned, but continued forward never the less.

I then came to a cross roads that was not marked on the map. here I continued straight in a bid to get back on track. i however came across a different type of track as i went past some farm shed and ended up driving round the edge of a field with some rather bushy grass for company down the middle of this road.

Oops!

I decided it was time to return from where I came and find a new route. As there was no turning space i reversed back up the track, in the dark, and turned in the farmers sheds.

I eventually beavered my way back to a main road and arrived 30 minutes late. At least i can cross another thing off my list!
