Beat the Gantry Time to Junction
Discussion
Coming home yesterday.
Sign on the M11 says 40 miles 45 mins to the M25.
I can beat that, 10 year old son offers 100 stomach punches if i fail !
I lose a bit of nerve and we agree to 10 punches per minute i am outside of the 45 mins.
Set off at a decent speed but traffic is heavy, we stop at one point !! Once we pass Stansted the road opens to 3 lanes and progress improves - flashing people out of the way, i have a lot at stake here.
13 miles to go in 12 mins.
Blue lights appear in the distance - he is all excited now hoping for a crash, and the road being closed.
6 miles to go 5 mins, getting a bit sweaty now.
Queue on Slip road - 3 miles to go.
Had to continue down the outside lane and then move across further down - without causing anybody any issues, large enough gaps.
Slip road is a tight turn especially in an upright A Class.
Actually made the M25 1 min late - i took my 10 punches like a man ! Handy tip do not play this game with teenagers / adult children....
Interesting that the Gantry Time was spot on, despite traffic being quite heavy.
