Well that was probably the longest drive I’ve ever done.  I just completed a 6 hour drive (it should have been 4) to Redruth, Cornwall.  There was some sort of an incident  on the M5 on which caused junctions 13-15 closed and all the motorway traffic had to take a small diversion through some lanes and various A roads.  This added an extra 2 hours to my journey and has pretty much thrown my plans out this evening as I had hoped to get a gym session in (but looking in the hotel book they charge to use the gym!) and also do some work.  Oh well at least they have got wifi so can at least do a bit of surfing anyway.
