He was only doing twenty miles per hour but with the amount of debris scattered across the lanes, any faster would have been suicidal. It was amazing but after just a few months the road had deteriorated badly with holes, debris, abandoned vehicles and possessions filling sections of the road.

      Nick led the convoy of eight vehicles in a long, scattered column across the deserted debris ridden motorway though the heart of England.
