A1(M), northbound

The A1 is the longest numbered road in the UK at 410 miles long. It connects London with Edinburgh, via the east of England. For much of its path it follows the Great North Road the old coaching route between London and Edinburgh. Several sections of the route are classified as motorway A1(M). The modern A1 bypasses the towns the Great North Road passed through and is dual carriageway for most of its route through England.

Howe Beck

A swollen Howe Beck, looking downstream from Cowland Lane. The water here is backing up from the nearby Swale, which is at a high [but not flood] level after heavy winter rains.

Cowfield Lane

Or possibly Sandfield Lane, but one would guess that on this, the south side of the parish boundary, it will be Cowfield Lane. It looks as though NYCC have spent some money on resurfacing this lane recently as it used to have grass up the middle. Strange to spend the money here when there are so many more important roads full of potholes and patches.
