A superb collection again Tom well done

Sign Of The Times





Tom from Tomodo has sent me these pics of some of the new road signs and the new road looking south from Hazel Grove.
Excellent photo's Tom good work!
Just a word of warning to everyone the weather is set to get worse through the week with some (possibly heavy) snow due by the end of the week so drive carefully please everyone and stay safe.

Nutcombe Sunday Morning







Red Robbo has been out and about again taking fantastic photo's in the process. These are of Nutcombe down showing the scaffolding around Miss James footbridge. Also of the new slip road we will use to get on the new A3 to travel through the tunnel heading northbound.
Also as you may have seen, for those of you that have been southbound down the A3 recently the new road between Hazel Grove and Liphook is now nearing completion and traffic is due to be moved over sometime in the next couple of weeks if not sooner. Just be aware though that there are average speed cameras all the way down there so lets be sensible with our speed folks, not just because of them, but also during these cold months when the weather is not that great!
Keep your photo's coming guys.
