The views expressed in my posts are not necessarily mine.

Funnily enough I'll be across there next week for a few weeks in my favourite cottage - I'll give you an update if I spot any more.

I don't think there are many turkeys across there, but does this app pick up gobbling?
 
While I was fishing, Mrs Remote went out with a friend. The first part of the outing was to watch the motorbikes coming up the M6 for Dave Day. Dave Day celebrates the life of Dave Mayers, one half of the Hairy Bikers.
The convoy starts in London and finishes in Dave's home town of Barrow in Cumbria with bikes joining along the way with an estimated 40k bikes involved.
Mrs Remote and friend settled themselves on a bridge over the M6 between J18 and 19 just south of Knutsford services where they were having a pit stop.
Police stopped the traffic on the M6 when the bikes were due to leave the services. It took over 15 minutes for all the bikes to exit the services.
As an aside, on Friday I drove Mrs Remote to 6 bridges over the M6 so she could pick the optimum venue based on length of M6 that could be seen from the bridge, availability of parking and how busy the road over the motorway is.
She settled on a small road not far from our small holding.
Only 4 groups totalling a dozen people used that bridge as a viewing point.
The video footage was quite impressive.
Plenty out there to google.

This was getting out of the services. Its not a great bit of motorway at the best of times. Always delays. This convoy can't have helped.
