And this is, or at least WAS the quickest way home from town. Good ole council decided to raise the road surface. Original surface was a concrete sort of causeway that often had water over it with heavy rain. The road builders decided it would be best to add gravel to raise the level of road, then pave over that. The water decided it didn't fancy the new road surface and thought it best to remove it all. Did a good job with the removal too. When the water is running over the road (as it obviously was today) you cannot see what the road surface is like beneath the water. Another very good reason NOT to go through a flooded road. Tell your friends! No doubt there would have been some heroes that attempted to cross this when flooded. Wish I was there to see their faces when they hit this hidden gem. Schmucks! Thought the guys in this photo were thinking about doing just that. They did look like they were considering it for a while, but I think our presence put them off. Perhaps they didn't want any witnesses to the stupidity.
