after falling asleep on the on the motorway (see the last two posts) we all woke up at about 4.30am. it was a really eerie feeling as we walked between the cars, like something out of 28 days later. the southbound lanes were full of vehicles with lights off and people asleep inside while the northbound lanes were completely empty. we turned on the local radio again and heard reports that traffic was moving up ahead, but because people were asleep inside their cars it was very slow. awake now, but with hundreds of static cars in front of us we decided to manoeuver onto the hard shoulder and step on it. we sped past loads of cars before finally gaps started to appear and we joined moving traffic. we were only able to drive in the outside lane as the first two were still covered in flood water - but it was exciting to finally be doing more than 10 mph. we finally arrived in plymouth 2 hours later.
