    Ford Tour

    I'm trying to compile a list of Fords around East Anglia to go through.

    I've looked at this site http://wetroads.co.uk

    Anyone know of any others?

    I plan to go play in some of the ones round Cambridge on saturday!

    There are 3 excellent gravelly bottom fords near Harpenden. If you want grid refs etc, let me know and I'll post them here.

    I'm sure I have GPS waypoints for all the fords in the UK (somewhere). Can forward them on if interested.

    Just been at the fords in Stanton & Latchford as in the Hertfordshire section of wetroads (just off the A10 south of Buntingford) watching a photo shoot with a 1940's USAF Dodge ploughing back and forth through the ford for the cameras and much to the bemusement of the local kids playing pooh sticks, awww. turns out there are 4 fords within 4 miles heading south down the River Rib, water was 2ft in main section so easy do able on a good bike.
