this was taken shortly after yesterday's post during my overnight stay on the m5. we were moving a few metres every hour. we had actually worked out that our average speed for the journey at that point was 4mph - we could have walked quicker. anyway at this stage in the journey we were on a bridge over the river avon. we couldn't go forward because of the flood water and we couldn't go back for the same reason - we were marooned on a concrete island. the cars in the photo were heading northbound and were moving a lot faster than us, in fact they were all gone by 1am... lucky bastards.
