I wanted to go Friday as it was the Dales pony classes which I wanted to see. Could not get the day off work, so perusaded OH to get the day off on Thursday, and we set off. Got to the M42 to find big tailbacks as there was a big accident under a bridge.......had to turn back. I was really fed up after travelling all that way, but by the time we got through the traffic, it would have not been worth going.
