go thru the village then turn right at the cross hands. the green lane is on the right (on the map it is the one with red dots & goes thru to the b585.)

it is the one where the very rich lady using her satnav stuck the posh merc in & it floated away

the above link show the flooding between mountsorrel & sileby

our firm was working 2 different building jobs (one in each village) & we were going thru the floods six times a day. I use a double cab L200 trojan (old style) & it was halfway up the doors. the local offroaders were making a fortune towing dead vehicles out.
I had to fetch a 360 excavator out & the lowloader was completely submerged. I was too busy driving the tractor to take photo.

it was a laugh though. we really did see a woman climb out of a renault that was full of water (think top gear) there were 44t lorries going thru to a factory. one stopped, sucked water in & died.

You really need a pickup for the full experience

I take a truck full out on boxing day to watch the atherstone hunt try not to catch anything, we chuck a couple of straw bales in the back & head off into the wilds.
