So what's going on around here then?

24th July 2010
This week, a special treat in the form of a photo guide to the UK's most secretive motorway. It is so secret, it features on virtually no maps! So fasten your seatbelts and take a spin around the M96!

Two little calls for help this week. Firstly, can anyone provide photographs of street lighting (preferably close-ups), and info on what they are? If you can help, please get in touch! Any submitted and used will be credited.

Secondly, a gentleman called Alan Simpson is currently running a survey on Motorway Rest Areas (such as the new one on the M6 at Todhills in Cumbria), to help with his dissertation. If you would like to take part - and be in with a chance of winning £25 in Marks and Spencer vouchers - simply click here to go to the survey!
