MANDY DUE BACK THIS EVENING, BUS DVD STOCK IN VAN

What a superb day for weather, up at 4.45 and on the road just after 5am and a nice straight run to Immingham and tea and cheesecake at the truck stop as the sun was rising. I hadn't been filming that long, swapping position for as good as I could get so early on that I'd come back from the inbound section which was getting lots of shadow cast over from outbound lorries so went to the usual spot on the small traffic island. After two years they still had a redundant traffic sign on a tripod up, wonder it stood the gales so I kindly laid it flat and got rid of more excess shadows and got my hands thoroughly dirty, It wasn't long then that I witnessed the strange sight of a small van ( white) going round with a street light apparently following it, then I noticed the foreign wagon across the carriageway right on the roundabout. I didn't really see what had happened to course it but certainly a few minutes earlier I'd almost have been stood in that spot.  Thee was then a huge tail back of lorries which took twenty minutes to clear all in one shot! I got 4 hours of film, just downloading it now. I've got all the bus DVD stock in the van ready for Detling and Brooklands we can add anything we do between now and the events. If anyone wants truck DVDs ring or email and I'll put them in with the reserved stock. It got up to 20 degrees in Yorkshire even across the top of the M62 and right down into Manchester, home it was just 17. Here are some shots from thousands I took.
