      Is the cycle track going to be open all the time whilst work is going on ? On another subject Is there some sort of restriction on flying drones over the HS2 site in Wendover?😊

      Blimey, Karl! I can't keep up with your current output! I've got a stack of yours in my Watch List. I'll have to pull my socks up.
      Also, thanks for stopping your bike for a look at where the temporary path crosses the new road. I've shouted at the screen while watching earlier videos because I've wanted you to do that! 😁

      Thanks again Karl. I know hindsight is a wonderful think but I cannot help thinking that in all the months and years that have past it would have been sensible to create a temporary but sturdy cycle way / footpath on the Hartwell wall side of the road. Then they could have progressed the new road and cycle track without the constant moving around of barriers etc with personnel having to be used to ensure safety. If necessary during many of their previous closures they could have shifted the A418 over to the right a bit ( Bugle Horn to the roundabout ) which would only have meant a bit of road resurfacing which they did anyway. A barrier on the road side of my suggested path could have kept you cyclists safe and the path would have been virtually straight. Too late now though.

      Thanks Karl. Well they've committed now by digging out the old road at either end haven't they!
      Amazing still that some of the new road alignment still appears to be little more than kerb stones + dirt. Going to be a rush at the end.
      Are you planning to go back again later in the week by any chance?

      They've been very lucky that the weather's not doing much this week. If they don't get it finished by Monday morning they'll have to reopen the old road and then close it again for a night to join up the two ends, I imagine.
